Dotnet >> Logging Into a Server Hello All,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. This is outside of
my experience with VB. I have an application (written in VB.NET) that
allows a user to enter a part of the file name and all file matches in a
specific
directory are copied to the user's desktop. It's a simple but useful tool.
Now an outside company requires access to the data. The files have been
moved to a Windows 2000 server accessible via the internet (i.e. outside the
firewall) so the other company can access the files. Both companies are
going to use this program. Since this server is not on our (or any) domain
I must log into that server. Therein lies my question. How do I
programmatically supply a user name and password to the server? We do not
want the other company to know the user name and password to the server.
The "best" solution is a web application, but I need to get this working
immediately and I haven't much experience with ASP.

Thank you for your help.

Dotnet >> Logging Into a Server Chris,

In addition to Nick,

And create an install and update procedure using an msi file, or wait for
that on the next version of dotNet where the one click deployment will be
integrated

Do not forget that on all user computers the framework would be installed.
