Send Login Info

[Terry Olsen]

I want to log to a default admin share on a server. The user running the
app doesn't have admin rights, but my program needs to grab files from say,
\\server\d$\tmp. How can I send admin credentials so that my app can get
the files it needs? I'll need to send UserName, Password, and DomainName.

Thanks!

You can impersonate another user through unmanaged Win32 calls, take a look
at http://www.thecodeproject.com/csharp/cpimpersonation1.asp for more
information on that.

Another option (but I haven't tried that) could be to launch a WebRequest
for the file on the server. You can pass credentials with that, but I don't
know if it will work without a webserver.

Hope that helps,

Why don't you just set up a new share to the 'tmp' directory on the D drive
of the server and grant read permissions on the new share to the users that
require access?

Our corporate DS guys have sharing disabled on all the servers. The only
thing that works is the default admin shares.
