.NET Forum / Languages / C# / December 2007System File Watcher and networked drives
Would I be correct in assuming that the system file watcher is only valid for local drives and won't work for networked file system?  SignatureLilith > Would I be correct in assuming that the system file watcher is only > valid for local drives and won't work for networked file system? That would be an incorrect assumption. Per the Remarks section for the FileSystemWatcher class: Use FileSystemWatcher to watch for changes in a specified directory. You can watch for changes in files and subdirectories of the specified directory. The component can watch files on a local computer, a network drive, or a remote computer.

I'm working on a program to monitor the content of a series of log files that are created periodically with sequential extension numbers. The files exist on a NetWare drive. The program doesn't appear to work, whether I'm using a UNC path or a mapped drive. If I point the program to a local drive and copy the files from the NetWare drive into it, the program does detect the "creation" and changes of these files. SignatureLilith Hi, Yes. IIRC it needs to be a NTFS share SignatureIgnacio Machin http://www.laceupsolutions.com Mobile & warehouse Solutions. > >>> Would I be correct in assuming that the system file watcher is only [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > files from the NetWare drive into it, the program does detect the > "creation" and changes of these files.

Now, where did I put that drawing board? SignatureLilith It needs to be an NTFS share on an NT4 or later system. NT 3.51 and earlier did not support the File System Watcher across a network. Also, Samba doesn't support it either.
