How to chanage directory to mapped network drive?

[niladri chatterjee]

Pl. note R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP is already drive mapped.

But why I cannot change my directory to R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP by typing
c:\> CD R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP from DOS (CMD command) ???

I have added a network drive R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP in my Environment Variable
Path (both in USER and System variable). From cmd > PATH , I can see the
R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP in my maping path too (after reboot).

Actually My object is to write a batch program where I will switch to the
R:\PDFS\PACKING_SLIP and there I will call the FTP.

pl advise I am not a networking person.
