Visual Basic :: Copy File From Local To Shared Folder

Shared.Local Folder
Is there any way to get the local location of a shared folder, that is the local location on the machine that is serving the folder. So if I looked at the shared folder \ServerFolder I could find that it is located at C:Folder on the server. Now that I think about it, if that is not possible then is there a way that if I put the local address in the comment section of the shared folder that I could get the comment information? Thanks in advance for any help!!

Find All Computers In The Local Area Network (LAN) And Their Shared Folders
hi!
I need an example how to find all computers in the Local Area Network and all shared folders. The names of the computers should suffice! (the names of the users would also be nice but in my program they are not necessary)

For example:
In the network there are 3 computers "PC1", "PC2" and "PC3"
then I should find the shared folders:
"\PC1Folder1"
"\PC1Folder2"
"\PC2Folder1"
"\PC2Folder2"
"\PC2Folder3"
"\PC3Folder1"
........

Can anybody give me an example?
Thanks!

Move Files To Network Folder And Then Delete Old Ones At Local Folder
I am new at programming with VB6 and I would like to get some help.

I am trying to write a function meeting the following criteria:

* Moves all files (total of 3 files with different extensions)at a local folder (C:GraffitiWork) to a mapped network folder (that is persistent in drive lettering)and then
* replaces the files in the local folder with new ones that are blank (from another local folder named C:GraffitiMaster)

I have looked at the tips using the SHFileOperation function but when I looked at the msdn site, it states that "...you cannot use SHFileOperation to move special folders from a local drive to a remote computer by specifying a network path."

I need to have this done in order for a project to transfer these files on the command of the user to the network folder and then replace it with blank files for the next day's work.

Any help will be appreciated

File Copy In New Folder
What code would i need (not just filecopy) to become that when a user pushes a button, he gets a saveas dialog box. The object of the saveas box is a file thet i specified ( a database ).

A suggested name (backup_database.mdb) should already be placed (he can still change it, in the box).
The suggested target path is a folder (backups) that may or may not exist already.
If it is the first time he pushes the button, the folder should not yet exist.

thx for any help and i hope i made myself somewhat understandable

Sync/compare Folder On FTP With Local Folder??
Can anyone help with some code/examples og how i would go ahead to compare and sync any LOCAL folder with an FTP folder.

To start off "simple" lets keep it to one-way-sync'ing... from LOCAL to FTP

It must be able to sync the folders file's and subfolder's !!!

So sync ex: C:myfiles to ftp://someftp/myfiles

How can this be done the simplest way possible.. i mean..
If a file is deleted from any LOCAL(/subfolder) then it will also be deleted from FTP(/subfolder) and ofcourse this program must upload the files too... hehe

Any code examples, suggestions, helpfull hints.. and so on?!?!

Selective Folder/File Copy
Hi All.

I've searched your forum, but can't find an answer to my problem. Does anyone know how I can copy the contents of a folder (including the folder itself) according to the date the contents were last changed?

I've been looking at the FileSystemObject reference, but can't find any properties that look at the Folder Contents for the Date, Archive Bit etc.

Any help would be REALLY appreciated - I'd like to get this done during the holdidays whilst I have time.

Regards,

Copy File To Public Folder
I'm just learning about Exchange Public Folders. I know it's possible to email to files to a Public Folder and I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish this through VB.

However I have also read that you can copy files to a Public Folder from Windows Explorer. So I'm guessing that if you can do this manually you can also do it through VB. Is this the case?

I guess I'd need to know the 'path' to the public folder and then just copy my files? Is this correct?

Copy File In A Read-only Folder
Hi,
I am developing an Access application and i need to solve this problem:
in a form the user can copy a file in a folder of the lan but the file can not be modified after he has copied it.
If I set the user permission in the folder as read-only, of course I get an error when use CopyFile of File System Object.
If I set the attribute of the file as vbReadonly, the user could change it.
I don't want to map the folder with a special user in the code, because the user is already logged.

Thanks for helps and ideas

I want this app to check all Removable Storage drives { E: F: G: H: I: J: } and C:RECYCLER all at the same time in a constant

File System Object Copy Folder
I'm copying a folder from one drive to another for backup purposes.  In the folder that I am coping are other folders and files.

There is one file in one of the subfolders that a machine has open and is writing data to that causes the "Permission Denied" error.  I don't really care whether I copy this file or not, I just don't want the error message. (It won't copy from windows explorer either xp-sp2 or 2000)

Any one have any suggestions on how to get around this?  Would CopyFile work?  I was hoping not to have to open each subfolder and use filecopy but if that's what it takes.

CODE'this will copy the entire folder and all subfolders to the master directory
fso.CopyFolder fld.Path & "" & Subfld.Name, BackupMaster & "" & NDFRTF & "" & Subfld.Name

Log On To Shared Folder With Api?
Hi,
I need to fetch a file from a shared folder via a vb app. The app is on win98, and the remote machine will be win98, but may be win2k in the future. I will use the FileSystemObject to search and find it, then I'll either be doing FileCopy to bring it local or just Open it remotely to read it, but I get an error because I haven't logged onto the shared folder--it is password protected. How do I use code (some api perhaps?) to log on in code to this folder?
Thanks,
