Repeating Jani's fine answer for the benefit of those in clj.help who wouldn't

Hello,
I have a problem related to networking. I have a problem accessing
network shared drives from within my java classes.
Sure you do since those are not really "drives".
I used the File object when I was developing. Everything worked fine.
However, I have to deploy to an application server, I need to supply a
user name and password to connect.
I am looking for an easy way to connect to a windows network share
with a user name and password from Java. I started to looking at JNI,
but I was hoping there might be an easier to use wrapper already
written.
There is nice JCIFS (http://jcifs.samba.org/) package that has SMB
protocol implementation and allows you to work with SMB shares (that
includes Windows shares too).
I have a shared folder address as \\machine name\folder1, username and
password.
I assume this has something to do with Windows network security?
Not really. It's just part of SMB protocol.
