Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Simulate keypress in bash Post 303019301 by Corona688 on Tuesday 26th of June 2018 02:38:15 PM

MS Windows has three kinds of directory paths which partly overlap and partly don't and almost no programs implement all of them.

BASH would be no help here, as in UNIX, there's only one kind of path and network filesystems are the responsibility of the operating system, not the shell.

MS fortunately made a few kludges to join different kinds of paths together when your app needs a specific kind.

You should be able to turn a shared folder into a drive letter CMD can use, via something like
Code:
net use Z: \\computer_name\share_name /PERSISTENT:YES

That might even be a permanent mapping, unless you do
Code:
net use Z: /delete
