Hello,
I have a requirement in which i want to read a file from another
machine in the network. And also the machine is password protected.
Which protocol?



Can any one help me out in this.
I tried doing it in following way,
URI uri = URI.create("file://9.182.198.145/shared");
File file = new File(uri);
As i excute this code i get an exception as:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component
Seems like the above is treated as UNC name which can't be used accross
platforms. E. g. Linux would look for a file 'shared' in directory
'9.182.198.145'.

Under windows you might want to try
"file://username:passw...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/shared"

but perhaps it's easier to mount the share via

net use X: \\9.182.198.145\Shared <password> /user:<username>

and then access the file via X: ;)

Bye

Michael Thanks for reply,

I will explain you the requirement,

I have few machines on the network, i want to access a file under
"shared" folder on the machine with i.p address as 9.182.198.145

and all the systems have windows OS.

One more thing i tried with following code and i got the same
exception

Sorry, I was wrong.

Either you've got access to the Share, then you can simply use the UNC name (\\9.182.198.145\Shared). Otherwise I thinkg you'd have to map the Share to a drive letter or to have a look at http://jcifs.samba.org ;)

Bye
Michael
