Your choices are to either map the drive ("net use z: 
\\WinXP1\templates") to use Euphoria's dir().  You could do this 
programatically using system() (and later delete the mapping with "net 
use z: \delete").  Or you could use Euman's "alternative to dir()":  
dir2("\\\\WinXP1\\templates").

Carl,

you don't have to use drive mappings! Look at the following example:

---------------------------------------------
include file.e                  -- dir()
object x
x = dir("\\\\REMOTE_PC\\C$\\DIRNAME")
---------------------------------------------

will return the DIRNAME-content if the remote machine, drive, and dir
is existing and permitted.

Have a nice day, Rolf

Must be an XP thing then because I get -1 whether I do 
dir("\\\\server\\share") or dir("\\\\server\\share\\")

but "dir \\server\share" at cmd prompt works just fine...

Interesting... here's my test program:

include file.e

? dir( "\\\\server\\share\\" )

I tested it with exwc.exe and ex.exe and both returned -1.  And it's not=
=20
a permissions thing because I'm Admin on the server in question and OS=20
'dir' works fine...

So what am I doing wrong?

Are you asking me?  I have no idea since I can't get it to work either.  
However, in your case I'd at least try:
dir("\\\\winxp1\\templates") or dir("\\\\winxp1\\templates\\") before 
deciding it doesn't work.

Hi Brian, the following example code works under EXW.EXE on my NT-PC:

--------------------------------------------------------
include file.e
include get.e
integer k
? dir("\\\\adhome.win.desy.de\\rolf$\\www\\robots.txt")
k = wait_key()
--------------------------------------------------------

Check carefully the path!! Is is realy existing?

That's it!  In fact, just adding a '*' does it...

include file.e
? dir( "\\\\server\\share\\*" )
