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?
