C# copy file to another directory using other domain/username/password

Question

In c# 2008, I'm trying to copy a file to a destination path (for example \newserver\destinationFolder), that can be in another domain or using a different username/password than the current user. How can I specify these new network credentials before doing the File.Copy(...) ?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Good question but I dont think this is possible. I believe this type of file copy from one domain to another ( where there is not a trust set up) would be considered security hole.

Some options:

1. Set up a trust between the domains and give rights to the current user
2. You could try a Shell execute command and see if you can make this work through command line parameters. I was thinking "Net use" command.

Look at LogonUser. Here's the pinvoke page for it:
