XCOPY

[Guest]

I used to keep a copy of my photographs on my second PC which is
networked using a batch file. I had a look at it yesterday and it
doesn't look right.

I've got xcopy E:\digifotos\*.jpg F:\digifotos /e /d:09/23/04

I want to copy from E:\digifotos on the first PC to F:\digifotos on
the second the PC. When backing up across a network using proprietry
software I think I had to use something like //.

That works only if you map the network drive. Otherwise, you will need
to use the network share name as the path. It's best to obtain this
from Explorer's address bar.

If you can't find it, you can still produce the link by using
\\<computer>\<share>\ as the path.

Could you be more specific, please. I've edited the file twice but
I've not got it right.
