FileCopy to UNC path

[Angel]

Hi,

Is it possible to use FileCopy on a remote computer but using a different username/password?

I'd like to copy a file to the Desktop of a certain user in a remote computer, using the "c$" notation (e.g. copying to "\\remote_pc\c$\Documents and Settings\remote_user\Desktop"). But to do so I need to have administrator privileges in the machine. I know the user/password of one of the admin accounts, but I don't know how to tell AutoIt to use them.

I've tried the RunAsSet function, but this does only seem to work with Run commands. Perhaps I could then use Run or RunWait but is there a way to use FileCopy instead?

Cheers,

Angel

try using the command prompt

ie

runasset(blah)

run("cmd.exe copy blah \\pc\c$\blah)

i know that runasset really screws up my novell premissions(and takes a hell of a lot of scripting to get around it), so i would think that that account is what is used with smb also.

Could you elaborate on any problems you've had...

no problems with autoit

lets say bill is logged in the workstation and doing hist thing(excuse the "play" enviroment, it is to eliminate ambiguity) and i want to push app.msi (for instance(msi's are particuarly difficult)). i use runasset(administrator). well with novell bill is not authencated in this security context and windows adminstrator does not have access to his drive mappings. so i must then call another script to login in as another novell account becuuse i need access to a network drive(by the way dont run another login script!) then i must call another script that calls msiexec. this could be avoided by either coping the files before runasset or with fileinstall. i don't like the first beacuse it takes time to clean that up, especially if i unzip a file. the latter bloats the script if the install is very big.

another option is using a deployment system like zenworks, but that has its own set of chalanges. and how do you get zenworks pushed?

hope that helps

Use DriveMapAdd to connect to the server (you don't need to specify a drive letter. leaving the parameter empty is enough for this), then do the FileCopy.
