Directory.GetFiles(IP address)?

[Guest]

Hi,
I have been using Directory.GetFiles("g://"); in my c# application. But
now my boss want's me to do Directory.GetFiles(IP address);

I have been unable to figure out how to get this to work. Any sugestions?

Thanks,
Michael.

I think you'll have to do Directory.GetFiles( @"\\server\fileShare" ).

Hi Michael,

May I ask what you expect it to do, so we can give you a related example, or
point you in the right direction?

Not sure what exactly your boss wants , but if he wants you to use a UNC
naming scheme instead of a mapped network drive, you should do something
like:

Directory.GetFiles(\\servername\sharename);
where servername is the NetBios name or ip hostname (alias or a FQN DNS
name),
alternatively you can substitute the IP adress for the 'servername' like:
Directory.GetFiles(\\192.168.0.100\sharename);
,which is a bad idea even if the IP address never changes.
