Hello,

I want to replace the existing files or folders and copy new ones with the same name.

I want to do this task using form created in C# where i can give source file/folder & Hostnames or IP addresses of systems connected in network.

Any best way to do this?

Thanks,
Swapnil B

i have created a form mentioning source and destination text boxes in the same and buttons for COPY, MOVE, RENAME etc.

You will need some client application on the source host that feeds the copy/move request. One possibility is using a ftp script.

Thanks for suggestion... but is it really quite difficult using C# code to copy files within network?

Thanks,

No, it's very easy. But you must ensure that your network and the relevant computers are setup to allow it.

I've done a little research and these two links should cover everything that you need:

1. Connect to a UNC Path with Credentials[^]

2. filesystems - Determining if file exists using c# and resolving UNC path - Stack Overflow[^]
