Hello Pavel,

Many thanks for your suggestions.

I used the "LogonUser" followed by the "ImpersonateLoggedOnUser" functions
and all is working well.

Hello!

I'm trying to copy a file from another computer on the network that I do not
have permission with my current logon details to access.

If I open the folder using the Windows file manager with the path "\\
192.168.2.2\temp" (where temp is a shared directory on server \\192.168.2..2),
windows prompts for a User Name and password of a user who has permission on
that computer to access that directory. If I enter valid details, the folder
is opened and I can copy files from this machine.

How do I do this programmatically in c++ or c#? Standard file open and/or
directory commands do not have the option to enter a valid Username/password
and they just fails with permission denied (understandably).

Try using WindowsIdentity.Impersonate() to impersonate the user
account you want to use to access files, and invoke File.Copy when
impersonated.
