Problem with permission when copy files

[vagelisr]

Hello everyone

I'm facing an issue
I'm using this code to copy all the files

        Try
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(VBFrom_Path, VBTo_Path, True)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Unable to make the copy")
        End Try

The problem is when in the VBTo_Path put a folder on a server without having permission in this folder. (Absolutely logical)

Is there any way to give permission thru the program?? I don't want users had permission in a server folder!!!

Thanks and regards

Usually, although not always, a user wouldn't be granting themselves permission to write to a folder. That would rather defeat the purpose of folder permissions. Is this a special case for some reason?

You can use impersonation to give elevated permissions.
Take a look at this post that had somewhat the same issue. The guy decided to use an xcopy implementation. I don't know how did that ended up.
