I want to copy files from a windows PC (e.g. 1.2.3.4) to another windows PC. I am able to log in to the windows machine I want to copy files from using username and password (via remote desktop
).
On the net I found robocopy, which uses [net use][2]
to make the connection, or whatever (not clear on the purpose of net use
). On the remote machine I want to copy files from I created a shared folder with network path "\alex\Data", and so I tried to use net use
in the following way:
net use m: \\alex\Data password /user:alex
net use m: \\1.2.3.4\alex\Data password /user:alex
But in both cases no network path is being found:
System Error 53 Has Occurred.
The network path was not found.
According to the documentation given, I seem to use net use
correctly. So how can I fix the error I am getting?
Or maybe there is another (preferrrably simpler) way to copy files from one windows PC to another, using username and password to log in?
you can share files from one computer and copy files using another computer using user name and password – A. Prasad – 2014-07-23T06:29:33.330
@Ayodhya: Great you summarized my question. However I would appreciate if you could explain HOW I could do that... – Alex – 2014-07-23T06:30:27.250

@Ayodhya: Yes, both computers are connected to a LAN. – Alex – 2014-07-23T06:33:59.367
