hello,
I want to access a shared folder on my network with cmd console, I tried :

>\\192.168.1.198\documents

but the message I get is: The specified network name is no longer available.

any help?

1. In your command prompt, a

C:\>dir \\192.168.1.1\documents

should work. Call directly

C:\>\\192.168.1.1\documents

do not make sense because this is not a command.

I do not think you can directly access your shared folder from the command prompt.
What you can do is create a network drive pointing to the shared resource. You can then access the shared folder via the network drive letter.

To create a network drive with X: drive letter as:

net use x: \\192.168.1.198\documents

For help on this command, :

net help use

good evening,

ok thank you for your help.

another question: I have a folder structure that contains subfolders and each folder | Sub folder contains files. what I want to do is copy the architecture of the file but without copying their contents.
example, if I

folder1> subfolder1 | subfolder2 .... 
  folder2> subfolder22 .... 
  File ...

me what I want is just copy these file but without breaking their contents? would not be a trick to do that ???????

Try the xcopy command with the / T.

 xcopy source destination / T

For help:

  xcopy /?
