Accessing Password Protected Network Drives in Windows in C#?
This question got me to where I needed to be pretty quickly in the same case.
Here's how I adapted the code:

Open/browse a password protected mapped network drive
Z: is not a file name. [edit: it's ok if it's not password protected, tried executing your code and it worked]
Try using a ProcessStartInfo object as a parameter, as it allows setting a username and password.
And about the FileName parameter from here:
The file name is any application or document. A document is defined to be any file type that has an open or default action associated with it. You can view registered file types and their associated applications for your computer by using the Folder Options dialog box, which is available through the operating system. The Advanced button leads to a dialog box that shows whether there is an open action associated with a specific registered file type.
How do I map a network drive that requires a username and password in .NET?
Have you looked at this?
http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_network/windowsservices/article.php/c12357
Also, you could just use net.exe via Process.Start() and pass it the parameters you've always used in the code below:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("net.exe", "use K: \\\\Server\\URI\\path\\here");
This can also be used without a drive letter and then accessed through the UNC path.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("net.exe", @"use @"\\Server\URI\path\here");
System.IO.File.Copy(@"\\Server\URI\path\here\somefile.abc", destFile, true);
How to provide user name and password when connecting to a network share
You can either change the thread identity, or P/Invoke WNetAddConnection2. I prefer the latter, as I sometimes need to maintain multiple credentials for different locations. I wrap it into an IDisposable and call WNetCancelConnection2 to remove the creds afterwards (avoiding the multiple usernames error):
using (new NetworkConnection(@"\\server\read", readCredentials))
using (new NetworkConnection(@"\\server2\write", writeCredentials)) {
File.Copy(@"\\server\read\file", @"\\server2\write\file");
}
Accessing file on network with user outside of the domain
Finally I solved it this way:
private async Task GetUxVersionsFromServer()
{
string path = @$"\\{server}\...";
if (Environment.UserDomainName.ToLower() != "myDomain")
{
bool success = false;
bool ok;
do
{
(bool result, var username, var password) = _dialogService.ShowPasswordInput();
ok = result;
if (ok)
{
try
{
using (new NetworkConnection(path, new NetworkCredential($@"myDomain\{username}", password)))
{
success = await GetFiles(path);
}
}
catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception ex)
{
success = false;
}
}
} while (!success && ok);
if(!ok)
{
int test = 0;
}
}
else
{
await GetFiles(path);
}
}
I took the class NetworkConnection from here
