Access a file on local area network with authorization

Question

Hi. Firstly, I apologize to you for my poor english.

 

I want to access a file on a different machine that is on the same network as me. I also need to authenticate when doing this.

 

For Example;

 

My Local IP : 10.1.1.138

 

Target Local IP: 10.1.1.235

 

File Location is \\10.1.1.235\FolderName\example.txt

 

Username for target machine is: "username"

 

Password for target machine is: "password"

 

I want to do like this:

 

string data = File.GetAllText(@"\\10.1.1.235\FolderName\example.txt"); //with authentication

 

How can I do?

Answer 1

Here is the sample code (not tested)

 

//Get all config files from directory 

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles (sourceDirectory, "*.config")

loop through each file, 

Read file line by line 

 

var fileStream = new FileStream(@"c:\file.config", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(fileStream, Encoding.UTF8))

{

string line;

while ((line = streamReader.ReadLine()) != null)

{

// process the line

if(line.contains("endpoint"))

{

//process ur end point here

}

}

}

Thanks Sameer, but can you please help me with the code.

Answer 3

first you need to find/prepare regular expression for endpoint string format.

Later you can read text of each file and find the matching text
