Question

My channel uses a File reciever and I need to add credentials but there is no place to add them on the configurations tab.

Answer 1

There are a few ways to do this.

1. Use the "NET USE" command at a command prompt.  For example:

net use \\richserver\sharedfolder /user:rich password

To avoid typing the password in plain text use an *.  It will then prompt for the password whithout echoing it on the screen.

net use \\richserver\sharedfolder /user:rich *

Type the password for \\richserver\sharedfolder:

To restore credentials at next login use the "persistent" parameter

net use \\richserver\sharedfolder /user:rich * /persistent:yes

 

2.  Open windows explorer and type the path to the remote share.  windows should prompt you with a dialog like this:

Enter the credentials and select the "Remember my credentials" check box.
