How can I access the c: or d: drive of my networked pc through command prompt?

Add a shared folder/drive on the remote machine.

Map those shares to network drives on the main machine.

Then you can access the new drive letters in the command prompt.



I know those instructions were a little vague, if you need a better walk though I can help.

If you want to access folders/drives on a remote computer B from computer A, make an account on B (w/ admin priviledges) with same username and password (has to have a password -- empty ill pwd not work) as the account you will be using on computer A.

Then type this at the command line:
NET USE j: \\computer_Bs_name_or_IP\c$
NET USE k: \\computer_Bs_name_or_IP\d$

a j and k drive would be added (on computer A) that would map to the c: (c$) and d: (d$) of computer B.

You probably shouldn't use simple file sharing since you want full access to entire drive volumes. Read this:

You can specify an account and password as well using the syntax below (instead of using the same login credentials on both A and B):

add /PERSISTENT:YES to the net use command line above if you want to reconnect to the shares each time you restart.

Thanks guys. I had already mapped it through windows. Just wasn't sure what to enter @ command prompt to access the drive.
I got it now.
