Specifying logon credentials for Windows share

_Kaiser_ · 04-09-2009 09:52AM #1

Hey all,

Is there a way to manually specify what username/password should be used when connecting to a shared folder?

I know I can just map it as a drive and specify the details there but is there anyway to do it from the Run line, eg: \\servername user : password

Cheers

Do you mean something like this:

\\servername\sharename password /user:machinename\username

?

yep - though it must be me cause I can't get that syntax to work.

Better again if there's a way to force it to put up the login prompt/box?

Everything is a variable except the bit in bold.

\\servername\sharename password /user:machinename\username

Is that what you did?
