Universal Naming Convention.....

MS #1 / 5	Universal Naming Convention..... in a UNC the following is the basic syntax \\server\volume\path\filename Is there anyway to include a username and password with this UNC? ex. you can access an ftp site by the following url ftp://123.123.123.123/ but it will prompt you for a username and password unless you include them in the URL itself Is there a similiar way to alter a UNC to include a username and password? -J

Brian Chisol #3 / 5	Universal Naming Convention..... actually you can pass /user:<domain>\username password to any share after a net use command Quote: > says... > >in a UNC the following is the basic syntax > >\\server\volume\path\filename > >Is there anyway to include a username and password with this UNC? > >ex. you can access an ftp site by the following url > >ftp://123.123.123.123/ > >but it will prompt you for a username and password unless you include them > >in the URL itself > >Is there a similiar way to alter a UNC to include a username and password? > > -J > Not necessarily what you are looking for but you can authenticate to > the IPC$ share and specify the user then open the file... > net use \\server\ipc$ /user:<domain>\<user> <password> > Kevin

michk #4 / 5	Universal Naming Convention..... Only on NTish platforms, and only if you are not already logged on to that server with other credentials. -- MichKa the only book on internationalization in VB at http://www.i18nWithVB.com/ Quote: > actually you can pass /user:<domain>\username password to any share after a > net use command > > says... > > >in a UNC the following is the basic syntax > > >\\server\volume\path\filename > > >Is there anyway to include a username and password with this UNC? > > >ex. you can access an ftp site by the following url > > >ftp://123.123.123.123/ > > >but it will prompt you for a username and password unless you include > them > > >in the URL itself > > >Is there a similiar way to alter a UNC to include a username and > password? > > > -J > > Not necessarily what you are looking for but you can authenticate to > > the IPC$ share and specify the user then open the file... > > net use \\server\ipc$ /user:<domain>\<user> <password> > > Kevin

David Carne #5 / 5	Universal Naming Convention..... Be very careful in deciding to use 'net use.' It maps a drive that can be accessed by the user while your program is running, AND (!!!) will stay mapped if you don't disconnect the drive when your program exits. strNet = "net use " & g_strDriveLetter & " /d" Call Shell(strNet, vbHide) Ciao, Dave
