batch file help

[1boredguy]

hello,

was wondering if anyone could help with a batch file.

it will be used at a shared workstation.

users want to pull files from a network folder, the batch file should prompt for a user name.

the folder should be mapped, then specified files should be copied to the workstation (lets say user_folder).

(the users will then modify those files)

then somehow, maybe in another batch, the user_folder contents should be sent to the original network folder.

this is kind of a puzzle to figure out the best way for the setup.

any replies are appreciated.

Why not just let them work on the network files (directly through a persistent drive mapping if they can't handle a UNC)? Also, if a username is required wouldn't they also need to provide a password? If so, is this system part of a domain or a workgroup?

i agree...mapping a drive is the best way to do it....

net use p: \\server\share

course you can substitue p: for any letter you wish.....
