I have a multi user Delphi program which needs a shared folder over network to store data. I want the program changes the files in that folder but not normal users (who can see this folder) or network viruses...
I want to protect this folder with a password (windows 7) but I need to write new files or edit existing files via my program and I don't know how to do this.
Briefly I need to connect and disconnect to a shared folder via code like this
ConnectToFolder(\\myServerMachine\mySharedfolder username:me password:myPassword);
disConnectToFolder(\\myServerMachine\mySharedfolder username:me password:myPassword);
Is this possible?
Something like this would probably do the trick
function ConnectShare(Drive, RemotePath, UserName, Password : String):Integer;
var
NRW : TNetResource;
begin
with NRW do
begin
dwType := RESOURCETYPE_ANY;
if Drive <> '' then
lpLocalName := PChar(Drive)
else
lpLocalName := nil;
lpRemoteName := PChar(RemotePath);
lpProvider := '';
end;
Result := WNetAddConnection2(NRW, PChar(Password), PChar(UserName), 0);
end;
function DisconnectShare(Drive : String):Integer;
begin
Result := WNetCancelConnection2(PChar(Drive), 0, false);
end;
