Network access from batch file

[Deuxdad]

I have a file called "database.kdb" located in the SHARED folder on my desktop computer.  I need to be able to copy that file to a Win 7 laptop using a batch file running on the Win 7 laptop.  The file location on the desktop computer is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\database.kdb.  The location of the file as seen from the Win 7 laptop Windows Explorer is:

► NETWORK ► BLACK ►DOCUMENTS ►

Right-clicking on the file on the laptop and selecting PROPERTIES shows the file's path as:

\\BLACK\Documents (note the double backslashes in front).

So, how do I construct the DOS copy command so that the batch file can find the file to copy it?

TIA,
Jack

Not sure what you want to do and why you want to use a batch.
Have you looked in the database here?
Network access from batch file

This question has been asked many times. One method is to map network share as a virtual drive on the client PC. Look over the links above and come back here if you don't find a solution.

I'm sorry if I made my question more complicated and/or confusing  than it had to be.  In any event, your suggestion: "One method is to map network share as a virtual drive on the client PC." made absolutely no sense to me as I obviously do not possess the requite knowledge to understand such a statement.

All that aside, I was able to devise an answer to my question based on things I read in the link you sent.  The resulting batch file command ended up being:

copy \\Black\Documents\"Database.kdb" C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"KeePass Password Safe"

So... All's well that ends well.

Many thanks,
Jack
