Hi

How can I browse a network share with a different user from which I logged in with , please show me the syntax if it's possible .

for example I've logged in with user A and want to browse a network share which is permitted only for user B .
 
oops sorry , I mean username where I write "user" .
 
First, you will need the credentials. If you have, you can map a drive as follows:

net use x: \\server\share /user:<username>

You need to supply the username with permission to browse the directory. Then, you will be prompted for the password. Go to the X: drive and browse.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
 
You can also map a drive through Explorer and use the Connect using a different Username option to supply user/password credentials.
