Xcopy to pasword protected network folder

[te...@testnospam.nl]

Is it possible to use xcopy for a network folder that has a username
and password in a batch?

Let's say I want to copy files to a shared folder
\\Network drive\openshare\receive\

Username: Jos
Password: open

How can I make this work in a batch?

Thanks!!!!!

By embedding the password in your batch file (which creates a big security
hole!)

@echo off
net use \\server\share\folder /user:Jos open
xcopy \\server\share\folder\file.ext d:\

Thanks for the solution and the warning about the security hole!
I will use it wisely!

Thanks!

I was wondering if this could be done at startup of the computer?
If I make a batchfile in the startup folder that connects to this
drive it will work.
But is there in XP a more secure way to connect to this drive @
startup?
A way where the password is not visible?

Yes - create an account on the machine that hosts the share. The account
name & password must match your own account name & password. In this case
you will no longer need to supply a password for the copy process. Note also
that this is really a Windows XP question, not a batch question.
