Question Accessing Directory

[joeym]

Hello and help please,

I have an application which needs to fetch files from a location on another server.

The problem I have is that the remote server directory has a username and password on it.
I know the username and password so that isn't the problem

If I manually open the remote directory from my server then everything links fine, but I need to ensure that this happens in the background

I wonder if there is a way through VB or via windows api to pass the change directory request along with the username and password as I can't figure it out

Regards
joeym
