Access Windows Network Share with UNC Path

2022-05-21 00:03

I'm trying to access a network share by UNC path, formatted \\server\directory. I am able to browse to this network share in Windows Explorer. I have a Active Directory user with access to that account. SessionOptions are as follows:

Protocol = Protocol.Scp,
HostName = _networkShareUNC,
UserName = _networkShareUserame,
Password = _networkSharePassword,
GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey = true

1. When attempting to open the session, I'm getting the error:

Host "<my-UNC-path>" does not exist

2. I don't know what Protocol to use.

Thanks in advance!

What are you trying to achieve? Files on a network share can be accessed directly, you do not need (and you cannot actually) to use WinSCP .NET assembly for that.
