How to pass user credentials using Java

[Sim Kim]

Hi,

I want to access a File which is on a different machine using Java . I need to pass Username and Password so that I can access the file .

How can I do this ?

What kind of file system is this?

If it's SMB, have a look at the jCIFS library, which emulates the java.io.File API for SMB filesystems. Its SmbFile class lets you open files with username/password.
