Problem accessing files via Network

Postby russellgcummings » Fri Mar 30, 2018 5:35 pm

All,
I wish to access and rename files located on my LAN. Machines are Windows 7 - Windows 10 on a HomeGroup. All sharing / no passwords settings allow other programs to see the network files, except BRU.
Some of the machines are listed alphabetically (mixed in with local sub-directories) under my PC directory tree (by PC Name), but not all.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to access these files properly?

Thank you,
Russ

Are you running BRU at a different privilege level, say, As Admin?

Are you using a mapped drive letter or a UNC path, \\network\share?
Mapping works under a user context, so if you run BRU "As Admin", you are at that point running as a different user.

Not running as Admin. Shared PC folder I need to access is "\\Claribelle7\bsi32\import\".
Hope this helps.

Hi , you could map that path to a local drive and then rename using BRU.

It could be Windows 10 & its usage of "WSD".
See, Network not showing.
