I was able to map my sharepoint drive on my local computer (Note: this was not using the sync option on sharepoint, as I do not have access to do so). I am able to create new folders, however I am unable to rename it. When I try to rename the folder, I get the following message, regardless of how many characters I put:
I can change the file name from the sharepoint web portal, but not on my mapped network drive.
I am using Windows 10
I don't know if it's the same problem, but this guy got the same error message when he mapped the drive using a / at the end of the URL.
(i.e. he solved remapping: https://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents
instead of: https://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/ )

I am developing an open source application which should mount webdav share to local drive letter just like NETDRIVE and WEBDRIVE using node.js and electron-js, so in my application at present I am downloading all files from webdav share which takes a lot of time and not reliable for heavy data. Is there any other approach so that whenever user access a file, only that particular file should be fetched from webdav share, I’ve tried to display files meta data(dummy) structure in directory and kept that directory under file-watcher. So that when user tries to open a file then watcher should capture file open event to get which file was user trying to access, so that in background of application a service will triggered to fetch that particular file using file-path as reference, but none of them are unable to capture file open event. Is there any other approach to do so, correct me if I am in wrong direction.
Thank's
I think you want virtual file-system and recommend Dokan library.
Dokan is the start point of Windows virtual file-system application.
Open Source : Dokan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dokan_Library)
Commercial: EldoS CBFS (https://www.eldos.com/cbfs)
Google, Naver use Dokan and NetDrive, RaiDrive(mine) use CBFS.
I have a device that stores data in an FTP-accessible folder. I can connect to it through windows (ftp:10.19.1.101) and map drive to it (C:\Users#ME#\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\MyDevice). There are no usernames or passwords - if the device is attached, you have access.
i can click and drag the file in Windows. I want to automate that in VBA so I can process the file.
The single file is located at the root (ftp://10.19.1.101/fs.log), and I want to copy it to a location on my C drive to process it in Excel. I've tried for hours using code snips found here to no avail. I don't access the internet to get it, and I think that might be the problem, since 99% of FTP activity is that way.
FileCopy doesn't work either.
Any help appreciated
If you can access it and map it to a drive, open up a cmd then type 'net use' and hit enter (when it's plugged in and mapped to a drive). You should then have the long location used by windows which you can use in your procedures to play around with the file?

Dear community members,
We have three of same hardware Windows 7 Professional computers. No one of them is connected to a domain or directory service etc.
We run same executable image on all three computers. In one of them, I had to rename it. Because, with my application's original filename, it has no write access to it's working directory.
I setup full access permisions to USER group in working directory manually but this did not solve.
I suspect some kind of deny mechanism in Windows based on executable's name.
I searched the registry for executable's name but I did not find something relevant or meaningfull.
This situation occured after lot of crashes and updates of my program on that computer (I am a developer). One day, it suddenly started not to open files. I did not touch registry or did not change something other on OS.
My executable's name is karbon_tart.exe
When it start, it calls CreateFile (open mode if exist or create mode if not exist) to open karbon_tart.log file and karbon_tart.ini file.
With the files are exist and without the file exists, I tried two times and none of them, the program can open the files.
But if I just rename the name to karbon_tart_a.exe, program can open files no matter if they are exist or not.
Thank you for your interest

I figured out at the end.
It is because of an old copy of my application in Virtual Store.
As part of a larger batch script, I need to copy a directory from a TFS SharePoint site down on to the local drive. So something like:
copy "http://mySharePointSite/sites/MyProjectCollection/MyTeamProject/Shared Documents/Some Folder" C:\Temp
Any ideas how I would do this?
Thanks!
If you have local network access to the machine running SharePoint, you can use a UNC path to access the files directly.
\\servername\sitename\library\
The sitename is only used if you're actually accessing a sub site, otherwise it's just \\servername\library\
The path may be slightly different for team projects, but you should be able to find the correct path by browsing to it in Explorer.
I am unable to create a directory in a mapped drive. e.g. i have mapped U: to some location which there in the network. Using vc++ i am using CreateDirectory api, but it's not able to create directories. If i am giving any local machine location, it's creating. any solutions. Please let me know.
I have tried debugging my application, i find out that while running window service it's not creating but through debugging it's creating.
NOTE:
the location i want to create directory have full permissions.
It looks like the drive mapping to U: is not visible from your service. That's expected, since drive mappings are usually established per-user or per-session.
However, CreateDirectory() supports UNC paths, so you can pass \\server\share\path directly instead of using a mapped drive.
