File Sharing

[equuelus]

Hi guys..

I'd like to ask whether it's possible or not to create a vb-application that enables users within the vb-application network to share the files in a certain directory; thus enabling users to search for files within the vb-application network..

thanks.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible...

thanks.

Hi there. it depends on what you want to do, if you want to be able to copy files and write things to then it is very easy.

Example to copy a file from unc location:
filecopy "\\pc\source\filename.unk" "\\pc\destination\filename.unk"
or you can map the drive to the pc and then address the drive instead
of the unc path eg.
filecopy "drive:\source\filename.unk" "drive:\destination\filename.unk"

You have to be more specific.
