How To Publish a Folder Present at a UNC Path

This page provides steps for publishing a folder present at a UNC Path

Steps To Be Followed

1. Create a batch file including the command you want to execute.

   • Eg: Batch file to open //nas :-

     C:/Windows/explorer.exe //x.x.x.x

     cmd /k

     Note

     1. Enter your File server IP instead of x.x.x.x**

     2. cmd /k line will keep the cmd open after executing the .bat file.

2. Create a VBscipt file with .vbs extension.

   • Use a VB Script to call the batch file. Copy the lines below to an editor and save the file with .VBS extension. Edit the .BAT file name and path accordingly.

     Set WshShell = CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\" )

     WshShell.Run chr(34) & \"H:\folder.bat\" & Chr(34), 0

     Set WshShell = Nothing

     Note

     This script will call the .bat file but run the cmd as hidden.
