Remote file/Directory to another client

[Kev31]

Hi Folks.

How can I copy a file from one client to another? In other words a remote copy. I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

I can ping the other clients by using the My.Applcation.Network.Ping function yet I'm not sure how to copy a file from one pc to another.

can anyone help?

Thanks.

easy, create network shares on the remote computers and use System.IO.File.Copy method (supports both mapped network drives and UNC paths)

Thanks for the reply.

I could add a Network Place using vb.net and then basically as you say use the UNC path. I'll give it a go.

Cheers
