Hi Pals..

I got a problem when copying a folder from wifi connected machine using batch file.

I found the source path as z://folder_1/folder_need2b_copied. when i tried with regular command xcopy it worked. After a reboot, batch isn't working. Reason i saw was the letter of the drive changed from z to y.

Need your help in solving this guys!!

Thanks in advance,
Raj :)

Share the folder and then map the share to a drive letter on your machine.

It will remain the same drive letter, by default.

You say it's the same. I doubt we are talking about the same thing.

Is this drive on the wireless machine a USB drive?

No, It's a normal partitioned internal drive.

Then the mapped drive letter will stay the same when you map it permanently. That is the default in Win7/8 it seems.

Just map it with a high enough drive letter.
