hi all,
how to use jfilechooser to select a file available in another computer of my LAN.
i used setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
with this statement, if i give 'c:' or any local/mapped drive names in text box, it lists the files properly and i can choose the file.
but, if i give the IP address of another system, i.e like '\\192.168.0.243', it simply accepts this (\\192.168.0.243) as filename and closes the file chooser dialog. if i type the ip address, the file chooser should list the shared drives in that system. how to do this?
thanking you.

Hi all, It's answered here:

Thank you for telling us you have also posted on another forum. But you don't seem to have a full solution there.

You were looking for \\ip\c: there and not finding it. But will you actually find a drive letter if you set the JFileChooser to "FILES_ONLY?"

but, no proper help or reply in all 3 forums. People who find the "cross posters", please spend your time also to find, get and post the solution in addition to police work!!! That will be fruitful and helpful to us.

You all have a point.
Darryl Burke doesn't like people who post on several websites. Although we don't prohibit that, I can see why it annoys him; it means duplication of effort.
Seetharaman Jayaraman hasn't got a full answer anywhere yet.

But please make sure not to be rude to one another.

I don't know what to suggest apart from losing the "FILES_ONLY" option.


Does anybody else know, please?
