Read file content from network path in Windows CE - compact-framework

Is there possible in Windows CE 6.0 devices (Compact Framework) read file content over WiFi from files stored in network using UNC path?
Or in this case should I use FTP server or develop my own server?

You have to add the network share connection by P/Invoking WNetAddConnection3. Once that's done, you can copy just like you would any other local file.

How can I download my whole site using FTP and still keep file permissions?

I'm using Windows XP and have an FTP connection to my server. I would like to download the everything including file permissions as well. Filezila to my knowledge doesn't do that unless your on an Linux machine.
What should I do ?
Thank-you all

Ftp doesn't support transfer of file permission as it is platform independent - you can ftp to linux from windows, windows from linux ect... when you get the files to the local machine - you can do anything with them as your local folder permissions allows.

Using vb.net to copy a file from Windows XP to Linux

I have some simple vb.net code that I use to copy a file between 2 servers.
IO.File.Copy(fromFileName, toFileName, True) ' Overwrites existing files
That works fine when both machines are Windows XP.
What would I need to do differently if 1 of the machines happens to be a LINUX box?
One way is to create a Windows-compatible network share using Samba on the Linux machine. This share can be made accessible to Windows using a standard network path.

Disk2vhd Hyper-V server question

Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)

Ways of Authentication against a Windows Server in C# for a Client Application

I have windows server 2003 machine as a part of our network. I have created an administrator user on it.
Now this server system has a shared folder.
I am writing a C# application which will copy some files a local system to that shared folder in the windows server 2003 machine.
I have coded the file transfer code, it works fine if I authenticate the client machines using windows explorer to copy file into the shared folder on the server.
However If I don't authenticate using windows explorer my code gives Access Denied Error.
I want C# cope piece which can authenticate my file transfer application without entering the creds on windows explorer each time. The windows server has normal windows authentication.
Please help!!
Edit-
The server does not have an AD, please note that Iam authenticating against an AD, I just want to create an Authenticated windows session to the machine.
You need to use impersonation.
The following KB article has some good information on using impersonation from .NET:

A quick Google search turns up the following example (based on the same idea):

Copy files to a remote server via RDP using a script

We have a couple production servers that are configured to only allow access via RDP. There are no acessible shares. The dev team have no say in changing this setup but we want to automate code deployments to these machines. Presently we have to set Remote Desktop to share a local drive with the server, then RDP to the server and manually copy the deployment.
Any one know of a way to tunnel over RDP and drop files to a given directory on the remote host from the command line? The instructions will need to be included in an MSBuild configuration.
If you can get WS-MAN set up, PowerShell remoting and/or pmodem might be your ticket? https://web.archive.org/web/20180429054125/http://www.nivot.org/blog/2009/11/default
