I want to validate Server Name and if the server name is valid then I want to move sertain files to Server.

PathIsUNCServerA() in Shlwapi.dll. Returns TRUE if the string is a valid UNC path for a server.
There are a bunch of other Win32 functions that can be used for this kind of check, but this one seems the simplest and easiest to use.
To use, you have to load/unload Shlwapi.dll, and invoke the appropriate PathIsUNCServer (you probably want "A"). Pass it the server name in a BYREF STRING formatted like this: "\\\\Servername" and capture the output in a NUMBER.
TRUE under Win32 is "-1".
Never having used any symbols in this DLL, I don't know of any gotchas. Good luck.
