How to access shared protected folder over network

[vishalkbhatt]

There is a folder,in which I have to upload an image, is shared via LAN on a linux machine. My PC runs on WinXP. This folder is located at 192.168.0.24\snapshot. This folder is password protected. So How can I connect to this folder providing Username and password, upload the image ther and close the connection. Then repeat the same process at random time interval..

Did you try the modules referenced in the first reply to your same question?

Yes Robotics. I tried them but none of them are working. So if there is any other way which is clear to understand then pls help me. Thanks

We can't help if you don't show the code you tried and tell us what the error messages are. I could guess, but I'd probably be wrong. Instead, if you've got a bit of code that uses a module such as Win32::NetResource, then show the code, and tell us what error messages you're getting. Otherwise you're just waiting for a lucky guess.

Remember--you want us to help you. Don't make us work too hard to help, or we'll move on to the next question.

The right path is to solve the problem on the OS level, and make the network folder available with a local path. How that works is dependent of the type of network file system (SMB? NFS? AFS? something completely different?)

If you want to do the file copying with Perl, you can then do it to that local path, just as if it were also stored locally. If not, I don't see the connection to perlmonks.
