With Java (IO or NIO) file API (and libraries on top of it) you can (under Windows) open UNC path or mapped drives, but you can’t impersonate other (network) tokens/logins.
What you could do is use a SMB/CIFS client like jCIFS(-ng) or SMBj (I think there are also some minimal NFS clients) and implement the listing monitoring. Commons-vfs provides some functions for that. Alternative is using WebDAV, ftp/s or sftp as application protocols with their associated libraries (also supported in commons-vfs). I can’t recommend VFS for all transactional/automated loads and using an underlying lib might be easier and better in your case. If none of that works for you, maybe a fuse solution is also acceptable or - under Linux - mounting sub fikesystem while specifying the mount credentials. Gruss Bernd Thomas, Patrick R wrote on 13.
