How could any one access the private files on server using windows app

Question

hey Folks,

I have a windows app in c# .NET which requires access to the file on the sever.

Ex:--user A has his credentials as A and pswd. He has server space where he has the file i need.

i have the credentials. I can access it using our website. But, i need to access it using a windows app

Imagine i need a file stored on the mail a/c of a user.

Please help.

That depends entirely on how the file is stored on the server in question. If it's a file in their mail account, you could login to the mail server and search through their mail for it.

If it were a file on the harddrive, you could login via FTP and download it. The devil is in the details though, so you really need to provide more information about what you are actually trying to do.

• FTP library in C#
• Email using POP3 and IMAP
