    Connecting to a Remote System in VB Code

    Hi All,

    The remote system is connected by VPN Connection and some works are carried out in the system.

    Now, I want to connect to this remote system in VB and automate some work.

    Is it possible to connect to the remote system in VB?

    Kindly, help me in this regard, it is killing me. I am not a expert in VB.

    Regards,
    Durai Murugan R

    Depends on what you want to do. Since you have a VPN connected you could map a drive to gain filesystem access to the remote system but depending on what you actually need done.

    Cant say that I have programmatically created a VPN connection but perhaps it would be easier to make the files available for download from a FTP server?
