Need to read shared directories on remote PC

[google khan]

Hi,
i just want to read the shared directories on PCs those are in my
network. e.g. In windows anyone can set any directory/file as shared.
and anyone who can access that domain, can see which all directories
are shared by the user of that machine.
I want to access those shared directories using JAVA.
can any body tells me how to get the info about those shared
directories?

thanks in advance,

You can use File on any mounted file system:

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html>

Here's a simple example that recursively lists all files on the path
specified on the command line, or your current directory by default:

<code>
public class ListDir {

public static void main(String args[]) {
File root;
if (args.length > 0) root = new File(args[0]);
else root = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
ls(root);
}

/** iterate recursively */
private static void ls(File f) {
File list[] = f.listFiles();
for (File file : list) {
if (file.isDirectory()) ls(file);
else System.out.println(file);
}
}
}
</code>

For everything else, there's Samba:
