I have a windows forms app running on a machine that is not on a domain, that needs to be able to move a file from the local filesystem to a UNC path. I have a username and password for that path. I was wondering is there any way to do this directly with out execing the net.exe command?

Ideally I wouldn’t have to map a drive.

    The accepted answer on this question here seems like it would be worth looking into; it suggests using the Win32 API function WNetUseConnection.

    From MSDN:

    The WNetUseConnection function makes a
    connection to a network resource. The
    function can redirect a local device
    to a network resource.

    Which seems to accomplish what you’re looking for, with no mention of net.exe. Does this help?
