I'm working on an app that uses an UNC path to access remote files in the same LAN. The problem is that when access is attempted it throws an exception related to Windows credentials.

Is there a way to add credentials to my UNC path?

Thank you

It might be useful for you to use the NetUseAdd function from the windows api http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370645(v=vs.85).aspx. It allows you to access a directory through its UNC path.

Looks like Win32 APIs are the most common way to handle this. Check out this SO post Accessing a Shared File (UNC) From a Remote, Non-Trusted Domain With Credentials
