Ok, I have seen: Change working directory to network share - however, it does not seem to work for me on Windows 10.
At work, I have a network share, let's say, at local IP address 20.0.0.1; so, first I go to a Windows Explorer window, type there \\20.0.0.1\
, I get asked for a login and password; when I enter my credentials, I get a directory listing, no problem. (and I even get \\20.0.0.1\
as a node under Network
in the tree view pane on the left of the Windows Explorer window.)
So, now I open Powershell as administrator, and try this:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd \\20.0.0.1\
cd : Cannot find path '\\20.0.0.1\' because it does not exist.
At line:1 char:1
+ cd \\20.0.0.1\
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (\\20.0.0.1\:String) [Set-Location], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand
Same for cmd.exe
, ran as Administrator:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pushd \\10.0.10.1\
The network name cannot be found.
How can I cd into this network share from a terminal (either cmd, or Powershell)?
