I want to create a batch file users run that will copy from a share to their
local drive, however all the users do not have NT accounts.
I know this can be done with the "Net Use" but I don't want to have to map
drives.
so I'm looking for (if it exists) the correct format of -
"copy \\server\share\filename to C:\whatever connect as |username\password"

TIA

I've tried stuff like this and always ended up doing it a different way.
NT will try and log them on somehow so why don't you have your share with
minimal security.
If they don't have NT accounts the stuff can't be that crucial (according to the
server).
If they have to be User accounts set up a group for them and I'd use the Net Use
- disconnecting straight away.

First map a drive (let's say G:) using the following command:

NET USE G: \\server\share user_password /USER:domain_name\user_id

copy the files

COPY g:\myfiles\*.* c:\local

delete the G: drive

NET USE G: /DELETE

This is not working on the 95 machines.
