DESVR is a program which runs on remote machines to enable you to perform the remote disk accessing functions.
DETACH DESVRon any remote machine which you wish to access remotely. This enables the following programs to access remote disk drives:
To access the remote drives the above programs support the following command line syntax:
<Program> -on \\Remote Machine NameWhere Remote Machine Name is the name of the remote server or workstation. The Remote Machine Name will have been set when the network software was installed.
Warning : DESVR bypasses any and all security provided by the network. You may not wish to run it on all machines on your network.
Any file specifications or drive specifications refer to those on the remote machine (unless specifically otherwise noted) - not those on your local machine. For example:
DISKEDIT C: -on \\MAINDiskEdit will attempt to access drive C: on the remote machine named \\MAIN.
If the machine name does not exist you will see this error message:
SYS0053: The network path was not found.If DESVR is not running on the remote machine you will receive the following error message:
SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.
