Copy a file from a remote computer

[never_finalboss]

Hi Gurus!

Please help me for this problem.
I want to copy a file (C:\sharedir\sample.txt) from a remote computer (online).
IP : aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Computer name : pcname

I used this command of API in MFC


BOOL bCopyOK=::CopyFile("\\\\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\\c\\sharedir\\sample.txt","C:\\sample.txt",FALSE);

or

BOOL bCopyOK=::CopyFile("\\\\pcname\\c\\sharedir\\sample.txt","C:\\sample.txt",FALSE);


but I can not copy this file.
What wrong? Please help me! Thankssssss!

I can access that sharedir .

I don't know a copy API that copies a file. Try CopyFile API instead. Also, make sure that you can access the share in the remote PC.

Hope it will help you

Is the drice c shared too? If only the sharedir is shared in the remote pc, remove the "\\c" in the filename. Use the filename with the hierachy as you see with the network browser.

"\\\\pcname\\sharedir\\sample.txt".

Hope it will help you

The driver C is shared too, I try copy this file using Dos Prompt like this:



C:\copy\\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\\c\\sharedir\\sample.txt c:\



This command is success, but when I can not use MFC to copy that file. Please help me

Well...as usual...check the error code. If 'CopyFile()' fails, you can get the error code by a call to 'GetLastError()'...
