Hello,
Does anybody know of a simple way to map network drives from withing a
cygwin script? :o)
Hi Kevin,
This method works:
#====Using a hostname for the remote machine=====
net use \\\\sandstone.bedrock.net\\IPC$ /user:bedrock\\fflintstone
/persistent:no
(You'll be prompted for a password)
#====Using an IP address for the remote machine=====
net use \\\\192.168.2.100\\IPC$ /user:bedrock\\fflintstone
/persistent:no
(You'll be prompted for a password)
#=====Map drive Z: to the C: drive on the remote server=====
net use z: \\\\sandstone.bedrock.net\\C$
--or--
net use z: \\\\192.168.2.100\\C$
ls -latr /cygdrive/z (get a directory listing on the mapped drive)
The first line sets up an IPC channel to the server you're interested in
mapping to.
The second maps drive Z: to the C: share.
To UNMAP, use this syntax, just as in CMD.EXE.
net use Z: /delete
