Hi all,
I am trying to use a product called WebDrive (by South River Technologies) to map a drive letter to a secure FTP site. WebDrive works great, except that when I do things in VB.NET such as
Directory.Exists("Q:\") or File.Exists("Q:\Test\Test.doc")
both calls fail (return false), even though the WebDrive drive letter is mapped to Q and the file Test.doc does exist in the Test directory.
Anyone have any ideas about this
Cheers,
Chris
Anyone have experience with WebDrive and VB.NET?

Also make sure you have permissions for the drive.
The File.Exists and Directory.Exists methods do not throw exceptions if they can't access it.
Try opening a text file using a StreamReader and see if that throws any exceptions.

Chris,
I've never heard of WebDrive. Is it possible that they install something on the driver level which allows for this, or even, maybe a shell extension which only makes it look like it is a drive (instead of actually being a drive)
If you call the GetLogicalDrives API function, does it show the Q drive as being available
Hope this helps.
