cheers if you can help me

Answer 1

you had it.

copy c:\ \\192.168.1.1\c$\test\

should work, if you have permission.

Or you could map a drive to make things even easier, which lets you specify a username/password if that is necessary.

1. Map network drive
->net use * \\10.1.1.4\c$
This will give a drive letter.
To know which drive is mapped
->net use
2. Copy c:\
