How to check if documents on shared folders are availiable?

[Succodimele]

Hello I have to build an application which checks if a document is still availiable on a specific path. This application is used on our intranet. Html sites are no problem but how can I check, if a file on a Share exits? e.g. \\Server01\share$\test.doc It should be possible to differ if the share is unavailiable or if the user hasn't enough rights to access. Are there any opensource solutions for this problem or with which method can i solve my problem? thanks for your help! best reagrds succo

Would System.IO.File.Exists() not do the job? You could then catch any FileNotFound or AccessDenied exceptions?

Look into storing and using the UNC path[^].
