Use cmd.exe to read dir in mapped share drive?

Question

Hi,

I'd like to print results of dir in a mapped, shared drive for Windows. I am on my local host at C:\ and would like to run a dir on a mapped drive M:\MySharedDir.

Any advice?
Thanks!

Thanks, I was trying:
cd m:\
Wasn't working ;-)

Much better. Thanks.

Answer 1

Change your directory to m drive on the command prompt in dos.

c:> m:

CD over to MySharedDir

m: cd MySharedDir

print the directory back to your c drive:

m:MySharedDir> dir > c:\.txt

Now you have a list of the directories on your C: drive.

Answer 2

Or you could just do:

dir M:\MySharedDir > prn:

although the text file is probably better.

Answer 3

m:
cd MySharedDir
dir
