Folders on a shared computer?

[BrettF]

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why the first one fails, but the second doesn't?? Am I missing something?

$server = "\\Computer"
$search = FileFindFirstFile ($server & "\*.*")
MsgBox (0, $search, @error)

$search = FileFindFirstFile ($Server & "\shared folder\*.*")
MsgBox (0, $search, @error)

Typo in code.

Is there any better way to get shared folders from a computer?

It looks like the first one won't work when the second one does work on your machine because of the type of connection you have to the other computer - you don't have enough permission.

To me it looks like a Security Policy issue on the "server" computer.

Try auditing some of the settings for the shared drive on the server, opening more permissions for people who connect to it.

I am just testing on my own computer. If I need a password to access to it I just run the following, which gains me access.

If $search = -1 Then
    If $domain <> "" Then
        $sdout = Run("net use " & $server & " /USER:" & $domain & "\" & $username & " " & $password, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
    Else
        $sdout = Run("net use " & $server & " /USER:" & $username & " " & $password, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
    EndIf

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($sdout)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite (">> STDOUT read:" & $line & @CRLF)
Wend

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($sdout)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite (">> STDERR read:" & $line & @CRLF)
Wend
ConsoleWrite (">> STD read complete"& @CRLF)
EndIf

EDIT: The folder in the root is the only one. I can access just that folder as with the second example. Its just not working with the root.
