Create folders on a remote server

You could accomplish this through a task component that executes script (if you're using an NS). I'm not sure how to proceed...

I'm not quite sure how workflow works as I've never used it, but if you can trigger a commandline the below command will work as long as the user has permissions. It could easily be put into a batch file failing that.

mkdir \\server\c$\Folder
or
mkdir \\server\share\Folder

Breakdown (Guessing you know all this but hey..)

mkdir - Command to create a folder
server - replace with computer/server name
c$ - default windows share to c: drive
share - UNC share, replace with share name
folder - Replace with folder name you are creating.

Hope that helps in some form or another.

The component you should use is "Create Directory" (component class name: "LogicBase.Components.Default.IO.CreateDirectory").

Is this the component you tried? It works fine for me, both for creating a local folder and for creating a folder on a remote directory.

I tested it in three formats:
+ "C:\TEST1" (local)
+ "P:\TEST2" (server)
+ "\\APP1\Shared\TEST3" (server)

These all worked.

Hello wes.

Thanks for the input. I tried the same Create Directory component but it wasn't able to create a remote directory using UNC naming.

Good to know that it worked for you. I will give that a shot again when I get the time.

Cheers,
