view network directory code

anyone know how I can read the directory of shared folder that is on a my lan using c++?

I can use:
system( "dir C:\\ > temp.txt" );
to view my computer's directory

I tried going into 'my network places' for the address of the folder
\\CompName\shareddocs

then tried
system( "dir \\CompName\shareddocs > temp.txt" );
and as I expected it wouldn't be that easy and gives me a file not found error

so, how exactly would I be able to get those file names?

Quick suggestion: If it's supposed to be \\Compname\shareddocs, shouldn't you use

Code:

---

system("dir \\\\Compname\\shareddocs > temp.txt");

---

?

If that doesn't work, then we'll try thinking.

wow thanks that worked, I completely forgot to use escape characters on the sharedfolder's location
