the network drive,i'm using the net use command.

plz.......don't get angry with me.help me plz....
can u tell me what is to be done if the textfile contains
more than 1 line of data?What i want is to copy some
specific files from that mapped drive to anywhere and vice
versa.That text file contains not only the network path
but also the files to be copied to and fro.

Sample File(fileshare.txt)

U,abc.xyz.com,sharefolder,username,password
abc.tgz,xyz.xxl,pqr.xml..............(files to be copied
from the mapped drive)
abc.tgz,xyz.xxl,pqr.xml..............(files to be copied
to the mapped drive)
d,xyz(destination path)

Have your VB program parse FileShare.txt, create and execute
a multi-line batch file by using Shell().

@echo off
net use u: \\abc.xyz.com\sharefolder password /user:username
for %%a in (abc.tgz xyz.xxl pqr.xml ...) do (
copy u:\directory\%%a c:\destination
copy c:\source\%%a u:\xyz
)
net use u: /delete
