Java Forum / General / March 2007Reading a file from another machine on the network
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. 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 Can any one help me out in this.

E. g. Linux would look for a file 'shared' in directory '9.182.198.145'. Under windows you might want to try "file://username:password@9.182.198.145/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 > mineshde...@gmail.com schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > Bye > Michael 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 URI uri = URI.create("file://username:password@9.182.198.145/shared"); File file = new File(uri); can you please help me out in this.

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 > mineshde...@gmail.com schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Correct me if iam wrong... I have to Map the shared folder on my system then use the drive name give to the mapped folder in file constructor. Secondly, Shared folder is password protected, so now what should be done?

You have to provide the password when you mount the folder, so that part is already done. In effect, the drive mapping idea pushes the security problem out of Java space into user head space. -- Lew > mineshde...@gmail.com wrote: > > I have to Map the shared folder on my system then use the drive name [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -- Lew Is there any other alternative for this. That is, any alternative for mapping the folder into local drive. because if server changes then i need to again map the folder. Thats not feasible to do if i have to access many other machines. -- Minesh > Is there any other alternative for this. > That is, > any alternative for mapping the folder into local drive. jCIFS will probably do it. http://jcifs.samba.org/ User-space implementation (in Java) of the SMB/CIFS network protocol which underlies Windows shared filesystems. Client side only (as far as I know). -- chris On Mar 14, 11:30 pm, "Chris Uppal" <chris.up...@metagnostic.REMOVE- THIS.org> wrote: > mineshde...@gmail.com wrote: > > Is there any other alternative for this.
