How to do authentication to access shared folder

Question

See more:

I have a c# code to copy image to specific folder just as simple as below:

C#

string fileName = "image.jpg";
string source = "c:\photos\" + fileName;
string destination = "\\172.16.242.41\photos\" + fileName;
File.Copy(source, destination);

Problem is: destination is shared folder on Server computer in the LAN and it requires authentication (username, password). I do not want it for my users. "Windows 2008" runs on my server.

Is there any way to do authentication to access shared folders of Server in code?

Pls show me a sample of DomainName.

Solution 1

you can use this small C# Class for impersonating a User[^]
and copy file as below

C#

using ( new Impersonator( "myUsername", "myDomainname", "myPassword" ) )
{
   // code that executes under the new context.
   File.Copy(source, destination);
}

Additional reference:
Connect to a UNC Path with Credentials[^]

how about if my server doesn't belong to any domain, what the domainname should be?
