Good mourning

I'm using the DIRECTORY() functions to verify that a folder exits on another computer. Example:

?DIRECTORY("\\ftrctr1\C$\ftr recordings")

It's return .f., but the computer it's on, and the folder exits.

I'm doing this correctly?

Any advice would be great. Thank You
 
You are doing it correctly. I tried a couple of different servers and computers.

? DIRECTORY("\\servername\folder")

? DIRECTORY("\\computername\c$\program files")

Both returned .T.

I would verify connectivity to that computer by mapping a drive or navigating to the folder from the other computer.
 
You are right, I was having problems with security priviliges.

Thank You
