Hi,

In my application i need to show all the files in a remote machine. The requirement is that, i know the remote machine ip address of name. i want to save some file in the remote machine by showing all the files and folders in the remote machine. ( just like save as dialog box in the local machine). The problem is that, the there may not be any shared folder in the remote machine. Instead of the shared folder i need to show all the file and folders in the remote machine in a popup form. using the vb.net. Thanks in advance. :)

If there are no shared folders then you cannot do it directly. You will need some helper function on the remote machine that builds the list and returns it to your server system.
