Enumerating computers within an IP Range
I've developed a program for a specific text-based program that writes custom configuration files for a type of pc-based controller we use.
The goal, however, is for the program to be used on one main system, usually a laptop, with several systems that are identical to eath other, and all exist within a small IP range ie 192.168.10.100 -> 192.168.10.112.
What I need to do is to be able to copy a small text file, very similar to a config file, into a specific directory on each of the remote systems.
The main system's logged-in user is already authorised as an administrator to the other systems, so authentication won't be a problem, but I would like to have the ability to identify the other systems, and subsequently copy a text file over to them.
I'm hoping to use the same data to list the computers that are found in that range in a display that is similar to network neighborhood, to allow the operator to see if all the machines are responding.
I'd be happy (at a very simple level) to just be able to test whether a machine is responding to a 'ping' but I'd like to be a little more 'finessed' in how this is approached.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
