how to know if I have the write access right?

[LeviZhou]

I need to know if I have the write right on directory like

"\\machinename\foldername"

How can I know if I can write something into this folder using VC/MFC?

Thanks

Hi, LeviZhou
You can use the GetFileAttributes function to get the infomation of the file or a folder, and it is a API function.
Also, I think you can use the GetStatus method of the CFile class in the MFC to get the information of the file, and the method returns a CFileStatus object that stores the access of the file. The question is that I don't know whether it can be used for a folder.

Hi, tsubusa

Thanks for your reply.

I used the GetFileAttributes function, and it returns FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY. may be this means this is just a folder I guess. I'll test GetStatus later.

Thank you very much.

It's my pleasure. If you have any other question, I wish we can think it over together then.
