JFileChooser Network Folder Issue

Hello all
Class : javax.swing.JFileChooser (network folders)
J2SE : 1.4
OS : Windows
I'm in need of urgent help for JFileChooser, scenerio is, currently when I do a open or save dialog using the JFileChooser it brings up the mapped network folders along with local folders on my PC.
For selection, if I clicked on the network folders, is there a way I could differentiate if it was one of the mapped network folders or a regular file on the file system? I dont see any of the folders underneath my network folder, it just doesnt seem to work right.
Also the mapped network folder is username password protected which comes up with the Username Password prompt dialog the first time I access it through the open / save dialogs, where exactly does it store this information.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

I'm assuming that we are still talking about mapped network drives
under "My Computer", as opposed to navigating "Network Neighborhood"
and using UNC paths.
Are you saying that, in order to know if its a network folder i have
to search for " on " in the display name, and if its a web folder
search for a ".", in order to determine if the difference. Is this the
only way I could determine if its a network / web folder as compared
to the local folders on my PC :(
I was looking in for some kind of property that would help me determine it.I still don't understand where you want to test for this. Do you have
a listener on the JFileChooser to catch directory changes, or did
you set it up to only select directories, or are you talking about
determining this after the user has chosen a file?
No, there is no way in Java to determine whether a path that starts
with a drive letter is in fact a mapped network folder. My suggestion
was pretty ugly, as I said. I don't understand what you mean by "web
folder". JFileChooser doesn't support URL paths. If you mean UNC paths
then just test for f.getAbsolutePath().beginsWith("\\\\").
Also why dont I see the directory structure underneath the webfolder
or network folder from my JFileChooser?If the folder is not currently mapped because it requires a password
or the host is not responding, then JFileChooser will display an empty
folder. We may look into fixing this in a future release.
One last thing: For password protected web folders, when I select them
through my JFileChooser, the "Enter Network Password" window pops up,
and this happens only once in the applications lifetime, I presume its
storing this information somewhere, do you have any idea where exactly
i should be searching for these values? I didn't see this dialog pop up from JFileChooser until the new 1.4.2
release that we're working on. In any case, it is handled by the
operating system and our code knows nothing about it. I'm sure there
is no way to ask the operating system for stored passwords as that
would compromise security.

"scan to network folder" suddently stopped working after many months of no issues

scan to network folder was working fine over a wireless network to a folder on my file server - for many months.
This weekend I noticed the printer said it was "updating".
I guess it must have done some kind of automated update or something because I did not initiate an update.
Suddenly scan to network folder fails to work.
When I try from the printer, it says cannot connect to \\computer\folder
When I test from the embedded web server on the printer "Connection Failed"
The folder is online. I can access it from another computer.
I have also tried setting up a second folder config using the IP address as \\x.x.x.x\folder(The first 3 sets of digits in the IP addresses are the same for printer and network server) I even tried setting up anoter account to authenticate to the file server with a simpler password for testing purposes to rule out typographical errors. I have tried bouncing the printer, the router, the network server and the wireless access point all to no avail. It looks like the printer is failing to find the network server anymore.Pity there is no "ping" option on the printer to test if it can even see the network server anymore. I can "scan to computer" to another computer on the wirless network.But I like the convenience of being able to scan to a defined network folder whether my other computer is turned on or not. Does anyone know if HP pushed out a printer update this week or something?Just wondering why it suddenly changed.

HP LASERJET PRO 200 MFP M276NW - Can't scan to Network Folder

Hi there,
The scan to email works but not the scan to Network Folder. I have tried a lot of things but I give up.
I have given permissions to all and after share a folder it appears as shared... but does not work.
The OS is Windows 7. Hope you can help me with this because I will use a lot the scan to shared folder option.
Thanks in advance,
Fran

Hi skile88,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to setup the scan to network.
I will be happy to help you.
It is usually a issue with the Network Path for the network folder created.
Create a folder anywhere on the computer.
Right click the folder and left click properties, select the Sharing tab, click the Share button, select who you want to share the folder with or everyone. On the same Sharing tab copy the Network Path. (example \\envy1730\users \Envy\desktop\networkfolder
In the embedded web server for the printer go to the Scan tab, select network folder setup, paste in the path for the network folder. Go through the wizard.
If those steps don't work then follow steps 1, 2, 3, to resolve this issue to try and get the network folder and path.
Step one: Make sure that the computer user account is password protected.
1.Click the Windows icon, then click Control Panel.
2.Click User Accounts, then select the account you used to log into the computer.
3.Click Change your Windows password, then find the user account you used to log into the computer.
•If the user account is password protected, continue to the next step.
•If the user account is not password protected, click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.
Step two: Define the network location
1.Click the Windows icon, then click Control Panel.
2.Click Network and Sharing Center.
3.In the View your active networks section, click Public network under your network name. The Set Network Location window opens.
4.Select Home Network or Work Network, then click Close.
Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
1.Open the Network and Sharing Center window.
2.Click Choose homegroup and sharing options.
3.In the Share libraries and printers section, select Documents.
4.In the Other homegroup actions section, click Change advanced sharing settings.
5.In the Advanced sharing settings window, make sure that the following network options are turned on:
•Network discovery
•File sharing
•Public folder sharing (read and write access)
•Password protected sharing
6.Click Save changes.
7.Your computer network is now successfully set to complete the Scan and Fax to Network. Folder or Digital Fax to Network Folder Wizard.
I believe that this will provide a resolution to your issue. Thank you.

Scan To Network Folder Fails Post Install of Firmware Due To Password No Longer Being Passed

The scan to network folder has been working for over a year on my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to a file share in a QNAP NAS. HP CLP1CN1435AR firmware was applied to the printer in Dec 2014. Upon my first need to use the scan to network folder feature in 2015 I find that it no longer works. Attempts to validate the once working scan setup failed. Though a variety of tests I have determined that the password entered into the web server on the printer is NOT being passed as part of the logon credentials to the QNAP.
I tested every possible combination going back to ground zero and starting fresh with multiple new user ids, passwords, network shares, 8 character user names, simple passwords, IP or hostnames in the network path, requiring SSL or not, etc. With each test, I validated that I could sign on directly to the NAS and that the user ID was authorized to change files in the network share. With each fail, I validated the logs in the router and in the NAS that traffic looked normal and it was the sign on credentials were the reason the NAS rejected the sign on. The only thing that worked was a guest ID from the NAS which does not HAVE a password. Any requirement for a password during the sign on to the NAS will not be honored or satisfied by the new firmware.
This is an egregious error - something that should have never made it out of even the first level of testing within HP. I would love to inform HP about this discovery but alas, my printer is 2 DAYS out of warranty so the forum is well the only voice with HP that I have.
Now I have to set up an unprotected area of my NAS by giving the gest account access which means that anyone who plugs a network cable behind my firewall gets to see the scanned information. Now I am very sorry I applied the firmware. Now I am getting to be sorry that I bought this and another HP printer despite being a customer for years.
I would love some help from HP but not going to put out for an extended warranty or pay for phone support for something that I have easily and clearly tested to be a problem with the new firmware.
If anyone has figured a way around this, please let me know. Hopefully it will help focus someone else who is experiencing the same problem. Network configurations can differ, ect but I am pretty sure the rash of posts in the last couple of months about the scan to network folder feature have the fail to pass the password error as the root cause.
Unhappily & insecurely scanning to a very public folder share until then. Information that is vulnerable regardless of how brief of a moment until it is moved off the share is still vulnerable information. It’s not something I can live with for the long term.

Hi @Road_Trip ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Scan to network folder will not work for Yosemite

Scan to network folder, which is supposed to allow the unit to scan and save to a shared directory on a remote computer, does not work in Yosemite, though it will work on Macs sporting earlier OS on same network.
HP personnel have indicated that HP does not support Apple Mavericks. One can only assume then that it will not work on Yosemite either
Yet these units are still being sold to be used with Apple OSX.
Please resolve HP's position. If these units will not function properly under Mavericks and Yosemite, please explicitly say so. The scan to network feature should not have anything to do with any OS issue, and it is much more likely that the issue is faulty HP firmware.
If these units are supposed to fully function under Mavericks and Yosemite, please provide substantive resolution of the many many problems users have experienced.
The Scan to Network feature is what makes using these units viable as scanners. The fact that this works poorly at best, and not at all on any recent Apple OS, is simple acceptable

IT IS OFFICIAL
HP Case Manager has indicated that HP is abandoning Scan to Network Folder starting with Yosemite as OS security constraints present issues with using its current transport.
Of course this took an hour of double talk and fiddling about before the admission was forthcoming...
Shall we count the days until that information actually shows up in the forums?

HP LaserJet Pro 200: Scanning to Network Folder on windows server 2012 - can't find folder

I have searched everywhere and tried every suggested solution with no luck. Hence this post.
I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 on our small company network (domain). We use windows server 2012 as our domain controller and as our file and print server.
There is a shared folder on the windows server that is shared read/write with everyone on the domain.
I can access the shared folder from any computer on our network.
However, when trying to setup the scan to network folder capability, the HP web interface always comes back that it can't find the network folder.
I have tested that it will work on our network if I want to scan to a shared folder on any of the other computers on our network (other than the main server).
So it appears to be some sort of security / firewall issue with our server, perhaps ?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? Is there any technical documentation on how a server environment needs to be changed to allow this to work ? (BTW, this used to work, about a week ago and nothing changed except for installing the latest HP laserjet drivers on the windows server.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Network Folder Setup - "No Write Permission". Windows Vista.

Product: 8600 N911g
I am having issues in creating a network folder to scan to my computer. It responds ‘No write permission’
**NOTE**Before I allow you to continue reading, I need to first know to I need to create a password in my user account, or turn off UAC to create a scan network folder on my PC? If so, then that is what I need to do to correct this issue.
Steps I have performed in attempting to accomplish this task:
In Windows to create shared folder:
1) Created folder.
2) Open folder properties, under 'sharing' tab, selected 'Share' button, then selected 'Share' button.
3) A dialog window appears and states 'Sharing items', and when it is complete, it states "Your folder is shared. You may e-mail these links to notify people that you have shared these files, or copy the links onto the Windows clipboard, where you can paste them into any program you choose.”
4) When I select ‘Done’, it returns to the folder properties, and states in ‘Network File and Folder Sharing’ under ‘Sharing’ tab under ‘Network Path’: ‘Not Shared’.
**I don’t understand that it just said ‘Your folder is shared’, then under Network Path is stated ‘Not Shared’.**
5) Since in stated ‘Not Shared’, I selected ‘Advanced Sharing’, checked ‘Share this folder’ box, and under ‘Permissions’, checked ‘Full Control’ box.
6) Now it states Shared, and under ‘Network Path’ states the location: ‘ \\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825 ’
In the HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g, Embedded Web Server to add network folder to scan to:
1) Opened ‘Scan’ section by clicking on the tab ‘Scan’. Under ‘Network Folder Setup’, the ‘Network Folder Configuration’ clicked on ‘New’.
2) Entered data for the following fieldsTEP 1 OF 4: Display Name: ‘Scan’, Network Path: ‘\\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825’. Left User Name and Password fields blank. STEP 2 OF 4: Left PIN fields blank. STEP 3 OF 4: Did not make any changes, used default settings.
3) In STEP 4 OF 4 when I click on Save and Test, it returns with the message ‘No write permission’
How do I resolve this issue of ‘No write permission’?
Thank you.

Hi Robert,
First ensure the permissions are also set correctly by right clicking the shared folder, and then open the Security tab.
If your user name is not listed as Full Control click the edit button, add your user name and check the box for as Allow full control.
If that does not help, follow these steps in Windows Vista to make sure that your computer is configured to allow network sharing.
Step one: Make sure that the computer user account is password protected
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
Click User Accounts , and then select the account you used to log into the computer.
Click Change your Windows password , and then find the user account you used to log into the computer.
If the user account is password protected , continue to the next step.
If the user account is not password protected , click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.
Step two: Define the network location
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
Click Network and Internet .
Click Network and Sharing Center .
Click Customize next to Your Network . The Set Network Location window opens.
Select Private , click Next , and then click Close .
Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
Open the Network and Sharing Center window.
In the Sharing and Discovery section, make sure that the following network options are set to On :
Network Discovery
File Sharing
Public Folder Sharing (password required)
Printer Sharing (password required)
Password Protected Sharing
Your computer network is now successfully set to complete the Scan and Fax to Network Folder or Digital Fax to Network Folder Wizard.

Scan To network folder - HP officejet pro 8600 cannot connect.

Good morning,
For the last week or so, My officejet pro 8600 has been giving me the error
"Cannot connect to \\REDACTED\Public\Scans. Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
It will correct itself if we restart the computer/printer in question. but this only solves the issue for approx 6-7 hours.
Things i have done to attempt to fix this.
Set a static ip address for both the computer in question and the printer itself.
updated the IP address using the HP tool.
reinstalled the HP office program.
Set DMZ for both the computer and printer.
Set the public scans folder to zero security( so anyone connected to the network can gain unrestricted access)
re-setup the network feature on the printer itself.
however now i am at a loss.
Any help would be great.

LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP(m475dw) needs rebooting to scan to network folder

If our LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP(m475dw) sits overnight or for a good majority of the day without scanning to a network folder it will need to be rebooted before it will connect to the folder.
I have tried adding a different folder and the same issue occurs. The printer is connected to the network via wireless connection.
Once the printer has been power cycled the scanner now works fine to the network.
I would like to figure out why this is necessary and find a fix for it.

HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP scan to network folder

HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP Scan to Network Folder function is producing error messages in the Network Folder Setup. The error message reads: """A problem occurred during the test. Click "Edit" to check your settings, and then try again. For more information, visit hp.com-support Ideally, I'd like scans to plop right on my Desktop. I'd settle for any folder, however.
Here's my current pathway, which seems to be unacceptable: \\MYMAC\Public\Scans.
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\Public\Scans

I've also tried: \\MYMAC\DESKTOP\Scans
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\DESKTOP
I've also tried prayer, beer, and breaking things. Now I thought I'd try this forum.

If this is a windows computer, save the folder on the C: drive and use the CMD prompt and type ipconfig then take note of the IP address of the PC and make the scanner path very simple. For example, if my computer's IP address was 192.168.0.13 and I saved my folder to the C drive titled Scans, the file path would look like this:
\\192.168.0.13\Scans or even just 192.168.0.13\Scans
Then update the scanner defaults to go to that folder and do a test scan, making note of the exact error message if one appears.
It sounds like you could be having an authentication error. Let me know if you would like assistance as the date on this is kinda far back.
Always happy to help.

Laser jet pro won't scan to network folder

I have just setup a Laserjet Pro 200 (MFP M276nw) and have it successfully printing from an iMac running Mavericks OS. I am also able to scan using the HP scanning utility. All of this is connected via my wireless network.
However, no matter what I try I am unable to scan directly into a network folder. I have setup file sharing and ensured it is enabled for SMB sharing. I have ensured that the computer account on the shared folder I have created has full read/write access. I have created the network folder via the printer' ews as per the HP instructions (the path being \\<my mac's IP address>\public) and made sure username and password are set correctly. When I test the network folder I get an "Unable to connect to network folder" message.
I have disabled the Mac's firewall and have ensured that the printer software and firmware are the most recent versions available (they weren't but I updated them). I have deleted the shares, disabled file sharing, rebooted and then re-enabled file sharing, re-created the shares and set them up again in the ews but still it doesn't work. I can ping the printer successfully from the Mac and as stated earlier, can print and scan using the HP scan utility.
I have rebooted the printer and also the router.
Please help!

Hi Aye_curumba,
I understand you can print and scan, but you are unable to scan to the network folder on the Mac. I can help you with this. It it is usually a issue with the path to the network folder.
Here are the steps below for setting up the network folder if you would like to try it.
You might have to contact Apple to get the registered user and password name.
I would ask them to help setup the network folder also.
1. Create a new folder on your computer.
2. Right click (CTRL+Left click if using the Mac keyboard) it and then select Get Info.
3. Unlock the screen, set the everyones term as Read & Write, located under Sharing & Permissions..
4. Enter System Preferences > Sharing and then select File Sharing from the left bar.
5. Click the Options button, mark the Share files and folders using SMB (Windows) and click Done.
6. Under Shared Folders, click the Plus sign and select the configured folder.
7. Make sure that "Everyone" permissions are set to Read & Write under the Users list as well.
8. You will see the IP Address listed at the top of that screen, take a note to configure it from the EWS page.
You should use the following path template:
//IP-ADRESS/Shared-Folder-Name
Make sure to include your username and password while setting the network folder scan.
I have provided a document for the setup for scanning to a network folder.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder).
Select Scan to a network folder.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!

LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw Network Setup Issues

Successfully set up the printer. Elected to use Wifi option. Wireless computers are able to print to it no problem. Went to go do my first scan, and it tells me to setup the print to network drive. So i go to do this, and the HP software on the host computer (with USB connection) tells me that it can not setup unless is printer is connected to a network.
Obviouslly it is connected to a network....
So turned off Wifi. Turned off printer. Wired it to the router. Turned on. And still get the error message. For that matter, can not find in the Printer menu (on printer) where i can "setup" a wired connection.
I am a computer nerd, but for some reason i gots the dumb today. Some pointers would be appreciated - regarding the printer that is.

I would suggest though, since the printer is already on the wireless network with the other computers, to just create a new port for wireless on the computer that was setup by a USB connection, instead of setting up the Ethernet connection. A Ethernet connection will turn off the Wireless on the printer.
Since you are now connecting the printer to the router by a Ethernet connection, you can print a Configuration Page to get the printer's IPv4 address. HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276n and MFP M276nw - Printing a Configuration Report.
Then you can create a new port for the Ethernet connection.
Then go into Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IPv4 address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Scan-To-Network-Folder Problem On New Dell Optiplex 3020

I hope that I am posting this issue to the correct board.
I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 3020 64-bit desktop running Windows 7 Pro. My home network now has the old HP printer and my original 2003 vintage Sony Vaio XP Home 32-bit on wired connections. There is also an HP Notebook 64-bit running Windows 7 Home, using a WiFi connection. I replaced a Linux clone (which had connected ok to the printer) with the new Dell on the same wired connection.
With the other 2 PCs, I was able to set up Scan To Network Folder using the original HP software with no problems. I used a current setup file from the HP site to set up the Dell. The file is: "OJP 8500vA909_Full_14 HP Webpack". The Dell prints fine, but when I try to set up the network scan folders on the Dell the setup stalls and I get a request for an SSL certificate. I don't know if this is being generated by the OS or by the HP setup file that I downloaded. I can't figure out how to get the network folders to work on the new Dell, and I know next to nothing about SSL.
To be clear, the old Sony is a 32-bit Windows Home Edition, the HP notebook is Windows 7 Home 64-bit, and the new Dell is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Sometime soon, the Sony will be retired and the OS environment will become much simpler.
While I'm at it, I probably should update the printer firmware. However, my guess is that I should wait to do that until the old 32-bit Sony goes out to pasture.
TIA for any advice and suggestions.

Hi Alla-guy,
As far as I know, you have posted your issue to the correct board, now let us see what we can do to get it resolved
I will answer your easier question first, in regards to the firmware. You can update the firmware whenever you are ready! You don't need to wait for the other computer to reach it's end, as the firmware is just within the hardware of the printer and shouldn't affect anything software wise on the computer, so go ahead and update the firmware when you have a few minutes!
As for the setting up to scan to a network folder, it is odd that it's asking for SSL, do you know if you're the administrator on the new computer?
I realize the instructions in this Set up and Use Direct Digital Filing for Windows document are for setup, but still have a look and make sure that is how things were going for yourself. Also, it may be a good idea to check any firewalls or anti-virus that you have and temporarily disable any firewalls or programs that could be blocking things over the network.
Let me know how this goes for you!
