Cmd language: copying a file to another computer on LAN

[Guest JWirt]

I want to copy a file to another computer on my local network with a batch

command. I wrote this statement in the command file:

 

if not exist \\192.168.1.102\g:\Lotus\work\AAccounts.APR goto :end

 

When I run the command file, I get an error message that the "drive not

found."

 

":end" is a label in the batch file.

 

The machine at 192.168.1.102 is accessible from my machine using Explorer.

 

Should the drive letter have a "$" sign after it, as in g$? Doesn't help.

 

Thanks.

Let's have a look at the whole batch file, not just a single line.
