Forums Scripts & Popups /writing to a lan file

I'm trying to write to a file on the network using /write \\pc\location\file.txt but it's giving me an unable to open error.. i've given 'everyone' full access to the entire directory and to the file but it doesn't seem to be working..

Is there something else that it could be?

im not sure if write supports network locations maybe try writing to your own pc first and then copy to the LAN address maybe trough /copy (again i dont know if it can) or trough a COM snippet that interacts with windows explorer (if there is such a com object) or use a hidden DOS instance to do it, though DOS and networks canbe tricky .

/copy gives the same unable to open error.. i was thinking of making a socket to stream the data through but if a com object or dos transfer works that would save a lot of time..

thanks for the ideas

//write \\pc\location\test.txt this is a test (from the command line)

this works here .. win 2000 sp4 .. 2 routers between mine and the target pc (running win98se)

Or map a network drive and then you can write to Z: or whatever the letter is.
