Command Prompt: cd into a Network Folder (Solved)
« on: November 04, 2008, 02:36:05 PM »
My question is basically the title.  I would like to use command prompt and cd into a network folder, but I cannot figure it out.  Help would be appreciated.

Assuming you have permissions to the folder in question you can map a drive letter to it from the command prompt and then cd to it that way.

You do have permissions, right?

What path are you using? Also, try to access it without the 'cd' keyword. If you're using Vista or something, make sure you are opening command with administrator privileges.

I just figured it out by doing that.  Thanks xolik.

EDIT: I just mapped the drive in windows explorer (because I did not know how in cmd) and then did what I was going to do in cmd.

For future reference, it's something like:

net use (drive letter) \\computername\drive letter
