Share path over netowrks
-
I am accessing Files, folders, drives over network. Through SHBrowseForFolder I get the path over network. The problem arises when I check the path for validity with CFileFind. Assume that there is a pc with name PCabc over the network, and it has a folder in one of it's drive with name FOLDER1, which is sharable, with the same name. The path I recieve is \\PCabc\FOLDER1, Now when I pass it through CFileFind::FindFile() and CFileFind::FindNextFile(), the path is rejected. However if I take a folder say SUBFOLDER1 in the share FOLDER1 (which is also the exact name of the folder), I get no problem, ie, the path \\PCabc\FOLDER1\SUBFOLDER1 gives me no errors. It is accepted by CFileFind. Can you suggest me what should I do to get the path for the shares which will be accepted by CFileFind. Thanks

CFileFind::FindFile("\\\\PCabc\\FOLDER1\\*.*", ...);should work. If not, you'll need to step through the FindFile() code to see what it does not like.
