I get access denied error when I acces the folder which is netwrok,
However the locally accessing within the system works fine lists all the files and folders

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;


namespace IBISApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

          
     
            DirSearch("\\\\10.143.14.140\\D$\\nrtfiles");
            //DirSearch(@"C:\Users\U6037395\Documents\TRWork");

            Console.ReadKey();


        }

        static void DirSearch(string dir)
        {
            try
            {
                foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(dir))
                    Console.WriteLine(f);
                foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(dir))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(d);
                    DirSearch(d);
                }

            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }
        }

    }
}

What I have tried:

I tried giving the permission has all for the network folder
Added my User name in the folder sharing permission

I am getting access denied error.

You're accessing the machine using the default admin share for the drive (d$), it's unlikely you amended the permissions for that as you need to be admin to access it. Access the folder via a proper network share so you can control the rights, don't use "d$" - that's a "hack" share.

\\computername\sharedfoldername

to remove the sharename from the output (call the function as normal)

C#

static void DirSearch(string dir, string rootDir = null)
{
    if (rootDir == null)
    {
        rootDir = dir;
    }
    try
    {
        foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(dir))
        {
            string filename = f.Substring(rootDir.Length);
            Console.WriteLine(filename);
        }
        foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(dir))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(d);
            DirSearch(d, rootDir);
        }

    }
    catch (System.Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}
