I have server-client application, it's a file manager
my problem is when I go inside a folder which requires access control like system folders, it becomes to read-only, but I need to move/delete or create new folder, how can I get the permission to do that?
here's how I create a new folder at the server side
public void NewFolder(string path)
{
try
{
string name = @"\New Folder";
string current = name;
int i = 0;
while (Directory.Exists(path + current))
{
i++;
current = String.Format("{0} {1}", name, i);
}
Directory.CreateDirectory(path + current);
Explore(path); //this line is to refresh the items in the client side after creating the new folder
}
catch (Exception e)
{
sendInfo(e.Message, "error");
}
}
If you want to remove directory read-only attribute use this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vblanguage/thread/cb75ea00-f9c1-41e5-ac8e-296c302827a4
If you want to access system folders you can run your program as local administrator.
