Windows Folder Share API

is there a WIN32 API available to manage folder sharing in Windows? Some links to examples will be helpful. Thanks.

Solution

  • Yes, since Windows 2000 Professional there's a networking API available in netapi32.dll which provides this functionality. Functions like NetShareAdd, NetShareCheck, NetShareDel let you manage the shared files. See
