Hello,

I would like to access a server on the network via the command prompt (start>programs>accessories>...). For now, I can only access the drives on my computer (C:/, D:/, etc...).

I'm not sure if I've been clear.
I think the solution is relatively simple.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 7.0.1

    Hello,
    when you say you want to access it, what exactly do you want to do? Do you have any special services launched on it?

      I have an application (exe) that needs to be launched from the command line and I want it to be accessible on the server, so that all users do not have to import it locally to run it...

      I would therefore like to be able to run an application located on a server from the command prompt.

    Hello.

    Use the NET command, use Google to find out all

    its possibilities (for example by typing net command windows).

      Indeed, "Net view" allows me to see the list of different available servers. However, I am unable to access them...

    net view allows me to display the list of available servers...
    net use \\SERVER1 allows me to connect to server 1 (with login and password)...
    net view \\SERVER1 allows me to display the contents of server 1...

    I can't access the subfolders...

      I suspect it must be ridiculously simple for experienced people... That's not the case for me...
