Hello,I was wondering how to write code to enable me to browse directories of an IP address that i enter into a textbox. I want to browse the directories and select one to compare it with another directory on my local host. This is done in a Windows Forms application. Please help if possible.

You can browse UNC resources via Ip address. You'll need access to a share on the host machine.
this example shows access to the administrative share on the localhost(127.0 .0.1).
string myIPaddress = "\\\\127.0.0.1\ \C$";
string[] folders = Directory.GetDi rectories(myIPa ddress);
foreach (string file in folders)
Console.WriteLi ne(Path.GetFile Name(file));
Using a resolvable hostname works too..
string myHostName = "\\\\hrPC001619 04\\C$";
string[] folders = Directory.GetDi rectories(myHos tName);
foreach (string file in folders)
Console.WriteLi ne(Path.GetFile Name(file));

And how do I connect to the IP of another computer? What connection should I use? I am really inexperienced with this sort of thing.Comment

Find the attached project.
It shows how to use the Directory and File classes.
This should give you some ideas.Comment

Thank you it has given me ideas. Do you know how to list the file versions with the file names in the listView? that would really help me a lot. Major problem is sorted out now, thank you so much, now I just have to figure out how to compare if both directories contain the same files and same file versions of those files. Please help if possible?Comment
