Network Share

[whothis]

Hi.

Is it possible to connect to a logical drive on a remote computer that has a shared folder.

I have no problem connecting to a shared folder on the Primary Drive .

\\server\temp... for example

How does it go for the Logical Drive .

I tryed... \\server\d:\temp and a few other ways but no luck .


Thanks.

to connect to a drive rather than a folder is should be
\\server\drive share name

example you have a remote computer called server1 and the drive share is pridrive$ so when mapping the drive just put this

ex.\\server1\pridrive$

But the drive is not sharing, Its just a folder on a logical drive.

\\servername\d\documents and settings\local settings

BUT IT STILL CARNT FIND THE PATH

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the help

There is a default Admin share for each partition on a system. For the C drive its C$ and for the d its D$. The only issue is that you need Admin permissions to connect. If its a problem then you need to share the drive out and set the permissions appropriately.

Ok sounds good .no problems with administration but how do i set the Permissions.

Use the command line utility:

Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files
 
 
 
CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]
 
               [/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
 
   filename      Displays ACLs.
 
   /T            Changes ACLs of specified files in
 
                 the current directory and all subdirectories.
 
   /E            Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
 
   /C            Continue on access denied errors.
 
   /G user:perm  Grant specified user access rights.
 
                 Perm can be: R  Read
 
                              W  Write
 
                              C  Change (write)
 
                              F  Full control
 
   /R user   Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with /E).
 
   /P user:perm  Replace specified user's access rights.
 
                 Perm can be: N  None
 
                              R  Read
 
                              W  Write
 
                              C  Change (write)
 
                              F  Full control
 
   /D user       Deny specified user access.
 
Wildcards can be used to specify more that one file in a command.
 
You can specify more than one user in a command.
 
 
 
Abbreviations:
 
   CI - Container Inherit.
 
        The ACE will be inherited by directories.
 
   OI - Object Inherit.
 
        The ACE will be inherited by files.
 
   IO - Inherit Only.
 
        The ACE does not apply to the current file/directory.
