Question : How do I add username/password to unc path?

Hello Experts,
I am using Cobian backup to backup some folders on this computer to another workgroup computer. I am able to connect to the backup folder on the other workgroup computer via username and password, but Cobian backup does not ask for a username and password to connect to the folder I'm trying to backup TO. Is there a way to specify the username\password in the UNC path?

Thank you!
Brian

Answer : How do I add username/password to unc path?

Yep, from a command prompt user the net command.

net use \\othercomputer\share password /user:username

For example:

net use \\server\shared pa55word /user:mike


The net command needs to be issued before you try to connect to the other computer and you can run it from a batch file or whatever if you like. When you issue the command, the authentication using net will stay in place until you restart your computer.
