Can not copy files from remote machine on windows vista ultimate
Hi All,
I want to copy some files on a remote machine.
My application is running on Windows XP and targeted machine is Windows Vista (Ultimate).
There are 3 default shared folders (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$).
I have logged into the client machine (Windows Vista) remotely as an administrator and I am trying to copy the file on one of the shared folders, but it gives me an ACCESS_DENIED error.
Here is some code.
Step1: Connect to share folder using:
WNetAddConnection2 ()
Step2: Copy files using:
CopyFile ()
Returns an Error code 5 i.e.Access_Denied
If I try to copy the same files in shared public folder (C:\Usera\Public), it succeeds.
I want to know about the difference between security rights given to the public folder and other shared folders.
Also, Can I modify the privileges of a shared folder on a remote system?
If not, what do I need to successfully carry out the above described copy operation.
P.S. Turn off the UAC manually will solve the problem but I want to log on the system remotely.
Regards,
Swapnil
