I need to get all the folders names(one level) uner a certain root folder. I've tried 2 methods. The old Dir method and the 'dim di as new DirectoryInfo(PathTextBox.Text)' .... 'then di.GetDirectories()'. Both of these methods work for my local harddisks.

My problem is. I've got a mapped drive (a drive that is on a different pc on our lan) I've got full Access on this drive, but if I try to get folder names on this mapped drive, it gives me errors. The dir function give a unknown system error and the DirectoryInfo method gives wrong username or password erros.

Can You please give me a solution or just ideas what I can do to read folder names from a mapped drive.

Thanx a million:D

Just a thought...

What type of authentication are you using? If it is anonymous access, you will need to change IUSR_MACHINENAME account to a domain account and then give it access to the other computer's folder that you want to list.

Alternatively, you could use Integrated Windows authentication and this should take care of it, assuming it is a rights issue on the folder.

I would also check to see if the aspnet user account has access to the drive on the different pc. I'm not sure if that will have anything to do with it.
