Hello, I wanted to make a program for myself and give it to my system administrator for a system flaw I found in the school network.
What we have: A network with several users that have his/her own personal folder.
What is flawed: Other people can get in other certain users' folders, most are blocked.
What I want to do: Get a directory listing of those accessibly through my user name
Hark, nobody make the source code to do this. I only want to find out how you can change into another directory in DOS (The system("h:\") command does not work.
The process is like this:
type: net use h: \\(server)\(sub-directory)
type: h:
(go to directory H: for server)
type: dir
However, there was something going wrong with the type: H: thing, as I cannot, in my console application, see the directory information of the server I am "supposedly" on but instead, the C:\ directory I was on.
Here's a small code snippet that I've done so far:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
character = _getch();
switch(character)
{
case 97:
cout << "Type in a server name.\n";
cin.getline(server, 49);
system("cls");
system("net use h: \\\\(server IP/name)\\c");
getch();
system("cd h:\\");
getch()
system("dir");
cout << "You have ? changed the directory ?";
So far, I cannot change the directory using the cd command, and then using dir, because it will always show the C:\ directory, not the H:\. The two getch() between the system("cd h:\\"); are for testing purposes (step by step process)
As I hope you can see (it's pretty easy to figure out what my code does) I only need to find out how to change to another directory in a network using the system() command if possible. (Please, simplified answers, I'm a beginner.)
Thank you
