Quick video about sharing and mapping in the Windows Command Prompt with the net share and net use commands.
Example of net share and net use (sharenames in the video will vary):
There are two computers. One sharing data, and one accessing that data.
The computer that is sharing the folder needs to use the net share command.
The computer that is accessing the shared folder over the network needs to use the net use command.
For example. Let’s say computer1 had a folder named test that you wanted to share as testnow. The syntax would be:
net share testnow=C:\test
If computer2 wanted to connect to the computer1 share (called testnow) while using a drive letter (F:) the syntax would be:
