Try net help use
for usage:

The syntax of this command is:
NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]

I would like to know if somebody knows the correct syntax for giving a folder a share on remote network machine's folder. Please write a syntax you know for sure that it's working.
This operation should be on CLI- command line I'm having an error messages when trying to use:
net use x: \\someNetworkPath\
I get errors like :system error 53 has occured The network path was not found
I must say that in windows I can acess this network path.
Important Note: I'm doing net use before because the Net share command do not know what is UNC Path as far as I know

snapshoe about 11 yearsDo you have permission to the remote machine? How do you authenticate to it? Do you have local login to the remote machine? a domain login? Does the remote system have a share with the name that you're trying to connect to?

CSharper about 11 years1.I guess I have permission because through windows interface I can access it without any problem 2.I also do not see any credentials that I need to put in, but maybe it's doing it automatically 3.It don't have a name share I want to create one for it remotely. 4. Can you explain more about domain login I think it the type but not sure
