Access folder network in Windows

Gianluca86

Hello everyone,
I would like access to a folder (copy in the files or read) that resides on a computer connected to the local network.
To read the folder I use the normal command:

if(!QDir(QDir::toNativeSeparators("//192.168.0.20/FOLDER")).exists())
{/
    qDebug()<<"Not Exist";
}

But since I have to enter username and password, I always find that the folder doesn't exist.
How do I have to enter this data? I tried to use QNetworkManager, but it didn't work (maybe I did not understand how to implement it correctly)
it's possible to do it? Are there examples?
thank you

Edit:
I'm using QT 5.7 on Windows

@Gianluca86 The easiest way is actually to map that network share to a drive letter and access it then like any other path.

Qt does not support samba natively. See some hints here, here and here

If it's only Windows you could use MSDN WNetAddConnection2

Thank you all for the answers.
@sierdzio : Thanks for the link, now all I need is for Windows, but when I pass on to the linux will be very useful.
@the_ : I don't understand how you can use a Windows function in Qt

In any case, to resolve the problem quickly I turn off password protected sharing.

easy as using Qt methods ;)

just include the neccessary header files in your source code and add the libs to the pro file.
