I'm trying to access a file on the network from a java class. Here is a
simple example:

java.io.File f = new java.io.File("w:\");
System.out.println(f.canRead());
System.out.println(f.isDirectory()):
java.io.File[] files = f.listFiles();

in this case the W:\ drive is mapped on the server.  canRead() returns false
isDirectory return false and
files is null

I can use this same code to access any partition on the server but can't
access anything on the network whether using a mapped drive or the UNC
\\ntserver-5 .  Is this a permissions problem or something else.  I don't
get any error.
