ok, i need to put something on a friends machine, they have the drives shared and all i need to do is log on!! what is the syntax i can use in IE?

i have their IP and the name of the shared directory

this person is running millenium...

 

[Alienwho]

you can do this:

start>run>type in "//ipnumbergoeshere/" without the quotes

I think that should work.

<edit> or maybe it's \\ipnumbergoeshere\

hell if i know

 

[Pastore]

thats a big NO...

 

[Alienwho]

heh, works for networking.

 

[Pastore]

yeah, if we were in the same domain it would work like a charm...

 

[Alienwho]

why don't you just FTP it?

 

[goog40]

It should be able to work by typing \\IP Address in an IE window.

 

[Pastore]

<< why don't you just FTP it >>



my friend isnt bright enough to set up an ftp...

 

[Pastore]

HELP!

 

[brxndxn]

okay.. copy all the files to floppies... then run them over to his house. easy.

or, teach your friend to set up an FTP (and maybe after that, you could teach him how to read). moron friends suck.

 

[Pastore]

cant exactly do much with a 50MB file and floppies...

 

[Alienwho]

no CDR?

 

[Pastore]

sold mine...

 

[bomb99]

zip drive?

what kind of internet connection are you guys using?
if is cable or dsl or faster, you can upload it to him at a reasonable time

 

[pulpp]

icq or msn messanger can send/recieve files, or heck just get your butts on IRC and DCC the files to each other

 

[d0ofy]

Install Back Orifice on him, and take control!

 

[Pastore]

both behind firewalls... no go on the direct link...

 

[jobberd]

why dont YOU set up an FTP server and let him download it off of yours. Using an ftp client is much easier then setting up an ftp server, and even if he cant use the ftp client, you could always go and do it for him.
