kcwallace Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I am attempting to help a friend. THey are attempting to look for the existence of a file with a certain extention. She successfully created a FileSystemWatcher to search a folder. She then pointed it at the real directory, and the events stopped triggering. She has administrator privledges on that folder. I used the Dir(path) function to see if another approach would work, and it did find the file. THe monitored folder is on a UNIX Server. I do not know if that makes a difference. Her application is running on an WinXP PC. Quote Go Beavs!!!
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted March 25, 2006 Administrators Posted March 25, 2006 I'm not sure if FileSystemWatcher will work with Unix folders as it requires certain OS level functionality to be present. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx may be worth investigation though as it might provide the required functionality.
