Bill,

You can use:

dir \\hostname\mount

I.E.

dir \\gatewaylaptop\c

The other way would be to mount the remove drive

I.E.

net use x: \\gatewaylaptop\c
dir x:

Kind regards,


Justin

Are there any DOS experts out there. I am trying to view files on another machine using the DOS copy command (eventually I will want to use the DOS copy commands). These machines are on a Local Area Net. The files reside on the machine known as GATEWAYLAPTOP and when I run the NET VIEW command on machine "A" it identifies machine "B" as \\GATEWAYLAPTOP. So my command is:

DIR \\GATEWAYLAPTOP\C:\

However I get an error that the file name or directory is invalid. Does anyone know how to do this?
