How to determine if a file is available on a machine.
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 8:25 pm
Presently, I am trying to find out how to determine if a file is available on a user's machine that is on the same network/server as my machine. For example, before allowing certain privileges to that user, I need to know if that user has updated his/her antivirus definition, and thus I need to find out that these updated files are on the user's machine. If not, I will provide the user with a link to get the updated files and so forth. Does anyone have any idea as to how to go about doing this? Also, does anyone know how to determine if a machine is using a wireless connection based on that user's machine's MAC address?
