Issue: Connecting to a computer in a network.

I would like to connect to a file on a computer on my internal network
that
has a different password. I have tried download.file and read.csv to no
avail.

When use this link in explorer it will prompt me for a username/password:

file://hs9999-907/D$/protein%20Maintenance%20Logs/123.txt

Then it lets me through. I cannot get any R traction on where I might be
going wrong or a command that might work.


You could try using the "Internet2" setting, which routes web requests
through Internet Explorer libraries. See ?setInternet2.


For the local network, that should not be required and
readLines("//hs9999-907/D$/protein%20Maintenance%20Logs/123.txt")
should show the file, hence I guess the OP forgot to omit the "file:" part.
