I’m not even sure if this is possible but thought I’d ask anyway. Sorry in advance, I’m sure the question could be worded better.

Is it possible to write a file to the C: drive of another computer on your network?

The C: drive of PC1 has a user account with full access rights called User1.
User2 (who is logged into PC2) knows the username and password of user account User1.
Can User2 write a file to the C: drive of PC1.

Hope that makes sense. If you have any question I’ll try my best to answer them.

Thank you for everyone’s answers.

EDIT

After doing a little more digging I think I’ve found the answer but I can’t test until I get to work tomorrow.

The answer – command line “NET USE Z: \PC1\C$\ /user username1 /pass password1”

    It’s not possible unless the other computer is sharing the C:\ out on the network. If it is shared, you can access it using \\computername\share (where “share” is the name of the c:\ share and “computername” is the network name of your computer.)

    As ChrisF points out in the comments, there is a default share named C$ that you might be able to use.
