How to get file owner from network drive in C#?

Question

How do I get file owner from network drive file in c# ?

I use this code:

string user = System.IO.File.GetAccessControl("filepath").GetOwner(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString();

I get the file owner name if the domain of file owner is the same as my machine, but if domain is different than my machine then I get error that " Some or all identity references could not be translated ."

Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

string user = File.GetAccessControl("filepath").GetOwner(typeof(SecurityIdentifier)).Translate(typeof(NTAccount)).ToString();

Answer 2

You can try below snippet,

string Owner = File.GetAccessControl("path").GetOwner(typeof(SecurityIdentifier)).Translate(typeof(NTAccount)).ToString();

You need to have access on it
