Get directories of remote Server [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Enumerating network shares 1 answer

I'm trying to get all directories of a remote server.

For example: path: "\\Servename\folder" - it works!

path: "\\Servename" - error

I tried this:

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo (@"\\SERVERNAME"); <- Error happens here
//Get Directories from \\SERVERNAME
DirectoryInfo[] dirInfos = dir.GetDirectories();

Error: ERROR: The UNC path should be of the form \\server\share

Answer 1

The reason is that you need to read available shares and not just the directories, as the comments answered.

However getting the list of all available shares on a server is a bit more complicated, it was already answered in a different question: Get a list of all UNC shared folders on a local network server
