Seems like the above is treated as UNC name which can't be used accross 
platforms. E. g. Linux would look for a file 'shared' in directory 
'9.182.198.145'.

Under windows you might want to try 
"file://username:password@9.182.198.145/shared"

but perhaps it's easier to mount the share via

net use X: \\9.182.198.145\Shared <password> /user:<username>

and then access the file via X: ;)

Michael Thanks for reply,

I will explain you the requirement,

I have few machines on the network, i want to access a file under
"shared" folder on the machine with i.p address as 9.182.198.145

and all the systems have windows OS.

One more thing i tried with following code and i got the same
exception

URI uri = URI.create("file://username:password@9.182.198.145/shared");

File file = new File(uri);


can you please help me out in this.

Thanks

Sorry, I was wrong.

Either you've got access to the Share, then you can simply use the UNC 
name (\\9.182.198.145\Shared). Otherwise I thinkg you'd have to map the 
Share to a drive letter or to have a look at http://jcifs.samba.org ;)

Correct me if iam wrong...

I have to Map the shared folder on my system then use the drive name
give to the mapped folder in file constructor.

Secondly,

Shared folder is password protected, so now what should be done?

Thanks

In effect, the drive mapping idea pushes the security problem out of Java space into user head space.-- Lew
