How to copy the .bak file from another computer(which is on differnt domain)
to local computer using windows commands. I would like to do that file copy
using command prompt.
Here is what I wanted to do:
1) logon to different computer(in different domain)
2) copy the file to local compute
3) disconnect the connection to that computer.
Thanks,
Ramu

Check out XCOPY at this link...
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx?mfr=true
That will give you a start with how to copy the file(s) using a command line.

Hi
-------------------------------------------------------
net use x: \\server\share /user:domain\login password
copy x:\path\file c:\path\file /y
or
xcopy x:\path\file c:\path\file
or
robocopy x:\path\file c:\path\file
net use x: /delete
------------------------------------------------------
The green stuff needs to be changed, the rest is syntax.
use the one copy-command that meets your needs...

How about the 'old school' way ...
C:\>copy /?
Copies one or more files to another location.
COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B]
[+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]]
source Specifies the file or files to be copied.
/A Indicates an ASCII text file.
/B Indicates a binary file.
/D Allow the destination file to be created decrypted
destination Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s).
/V Verifies that new files are written correctly.
/N Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with a
non-8dot3 name.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.
The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is
to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from
within a batch script.
To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files
for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).

copy command will not work because the file I wanted to copy is on another domain where I need to provide userid/login. So, NET USE will be the only option.....it looks like.

"net use" merely establishes and vailidates your credentials and access to the resource. You still have to copy something it appears whether you use robo-copy, xcopy or copy.

You are right. NET USE merely opens a connection to that share and afterwards COPY will do the copy.

Another option is to use ROBOCOPY, which ships with the Windows Server products (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2006/11/UtilitySpotlight/). It has both GUI and command line options.
