Question

What's the best way to copy a file from a network share to the local file system using a Windows batch file? Normally, I would use "net use *" but using this approach how can I get the drive letter?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Can you just use the full UNC path to the file?

copy \\myserver\myshare\myfolder\myfile.txt c:\myfiles

OTHER TIPS

You can specify the drive letter for net use. Put this in the command prompt for more info: 

net use /?
