I'm working on a Access DB to store files in a network location rather than as attachments in Access. The code is supposed to copy file from a local drive into a network location using
FileCopy strSource, strDest
I would like to use SharePoint documents library as a target storage location.
How can I provide a path to SharePoint document library folder?
I tried:
Providing URL of the folder
"https://name.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/Shared Documents/"
with different variations of forward and back slashes and "%20" for space
Mapping SP folder a network drive is unsuccessful. I get error message:
"
The regular (non SharePoint) network drive address works without problems.
Try using the Sync feature in Sharepoint to a local folder on your PC. Copy files to the local location and the Sync feature will automatically upload them to your Teams Channel.

I've seen a lot of answers on copying files that use code to set a network share, with credentials, to copy to somewhere else. However I need a solution that will allow a user to copy from a network share they already have access for, to a local drive they don't have access to.
We run RDS servers and have locked down direct access to the local C:/ drive on the servers. We have been given a 3rd party program that needs to read data files that must be stored in a fixed path on the C:/ drive. These data files are updated once a month. Our users have read access but we do not want to give them direct write access to the root C:/ drive.
I need to write a piece of vb.net, or command line code in .bat file that will copy files to the Local C:/ whilst providing the details of a service account to provide the access.
As mentioned I've seen a lot about setting up a mapping to shared folder and passing creds, however we don't want to set the C:/ as mapped shared drive in this instance.
You don't want the user having access to the C Drive in general, is there any particular reason the permissions on the particular subfolder the files are going to can't have overriding permissions to allow writing to just that folder?
If that will not work, first thought that comes to mind is having a helper program that can be ran under a different user that does have that access. Set up an intermediate folder the user can write to, the program that they can launch drops the files into a folder they have access to. Helper program watches for files in the intermediate folder, moves them to where they need to be.
Set up would need to include adding a user that does have access to both locations, and then adding to task manager to launch the helper program under that other user at login.
I have used blob storage as a file storage account in .NET Core Web application hosted on Azure app service(PaaS).
My requirement is to create .zip files and then attach to email where it requires UNC path for attachment.
Here I have one option to use app service local storage for temporary file creation and use in attachment.
I am searching other option to map blob storage to any virtual drive in cloud and get its UNC path or any other option?
Also, Can you please suggest what are the possible options to map Azure Blob storage drive in network? I know the following one - App service local storage, VM, Local machine network drive.
First of all, you need to know the concept of UNC path, and then azure webapp can be regarded as a virtual machine in essence, and azure blob storage can also be regarded as a machine. Therefore, it is not feasible to send mail directly through azure blob.
Suggestion:
1. I check the information, you can try azure files to store files and use them.
I think this should be the fastest way, without using other azure products.
Download the file to the project directory, you can create a temporary folder, such as: MailTempFolder, you can download the file from the blob to this folder, and then you can get the UNC path to send mail.
After the sending is successful, just delete the file, it will not occupy too much space of the azure webapp, even if the sending fails, you can still get the zip file without downloading it again.
I want to use DDEV as a local development environment. The setup was successful and the website (a WordPress) is running.
Currenty our team is using XAMPP and to avoid downloading large files on every local machine we create symbolic links (e.g. the "uploads" folder in WordPress). The target is a network drive. So everyone in our team has access to the same files.
Now I want to do the same with DDEV. In WSL I mounted the network drive and created a symbolic link. Inside the console I have full access to the mounted directory, I can create, edit and remove files.
But when I access a file with the browser I get the following error message:
403 Forbidden. You don't have permission to access this resource.
The same error occurs when I try to upload a new file within WordPress.
Is there any way to give the webserver the permission to view and modify the files on a network drive?
The Webserver is an Apache/2.4.38.
As #rfay mentioned I had to add the network drive as volume so it's accessible by the web container. Therefore I created a new docker-compose-file within the .ddev directory (see also in the docs: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/extend/custom-compose-files/#docker-compose42yaml-examples).
Additionally the permissions on the network drive were incorrect.
I cannot find a way to copy files\folders from Blob storage to a SharePoint document library. So far, I've tried AZCopy and PowerShell:
*AZCopy cannot connect to SP as the destination
*PowerShell works for local files but the script cannot connect to Blob storage ( Blob storage cannot be mapped as a networkdrive)
For anyone else who needs to do this, AZCopy worked. I just had to use a different destination. When you map a SharePoint document library as a mapped drive, it assigns a drive letter but it also shows the UNC path. That's what you have to use:
/Dest:"\\Tenant.sharepoint.com#SSL\DavWWWRoot\Sites\sitename\library"
I have a web folder e.g. "http://www.myhost.com/software/" if I open this address in IE it show me all files which this folder have.
I want to download all files but I don't want to hard-code name of files. I know I can get the files with webclient.DownloadFiles(#address,#filename). Is this possible to download all files or at least get the name of files from the web folder?
As a minimum you can download the same file IE displays (note that this file is provided by your web server -- there is not a standard) and parse the HTML for the files yourself, e.g. using webclient.DownloadFile("http://www.myhost.com/software/", #listfilename).
To access the files more "professionally", you'll need to see if the server also allows access via FTP or WebDAV because HTTP does not have a file "interface".
