Mapping a drive letter with MyServer

You will want to be able to map a drive letter into our system for using the MyServer or MyPartners service allowing your applications to read and write data directly.  It is essential that you do this over a secure and free VPN.

To establish the VPN connection, please see the section on "Installing the VPN Connectivity Software" on the left hand side.  If you prefer to establish the VPN connection manually, then see the following link.

You can map drive letters in script by using the following command:-

     net  use  *  \\10.0.1.201\<share-name>

and to disconnect using:-

     net  use  *  \\10.0.1.201\<share-name>

All safe in the knowledge that it is over a secure VPN link.

Notes:-

You can create scripts to ask the user for their credentials, dial up the VPN link and log on as follows:-

     @echo off
     set /p MyServerUser=Please enter your MyServer username:
     set /p MyServerPass=Please enter your MyServer password:
     rasdial MyServer %MyServerUser% %MyServerPass%
     net use u: \\10.0.1.201\%MyServerUser% %MyServerPass% /user:%MyServerUser%

And to log off:-

     @echo off
     net use * /d /y
     rasdial MyServer /d
