如何在C＃中获取远程计算机中文件的数量

Question

i want to take the count of files in a remote machine.i used these codes:

1st method:

System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count();

2nd method:

System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count();

using these am getting the file count,but its taking very much time.(eg:my remote machine containing more than 50000 records and its taking more than 3-4 minuts). i need a better solution through which i will get the count even more faster.

Answer 1

Maybe you can use a .Net remoting method that would require ac# server on your remote machine (c# remoting is like rmi in java or RPC in C) you can find out more about c# remoting here http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/vstudio/72x4h507%28v=vs.100%29.aspx .

I Hope it will help

Try Following

Directory.GetFiles("\\\\RemoteMachine\\ShareName").Length;

you may also try Linq

var fileCount = (from file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, "file format", 
                 SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                 select file).Count();
