I have a networked scanner and i have no problem scanning to the NT server \\servername\driverletter\foldername

I want to scan to a folder on a workstation and iam having no luck doing so
\\workstationname\c(drive)\foldername

Is this the correct path to get to the workstation?.....thx for any input....Born

Have you shared the folder on the workstation and assigned access rights? What is the error message you are receiving?

if you want to use the admin share instead of creating a share on the workstation the correct syntax is
\\workstationname\c$\foldername

Though it will work - this is a bad Habit...
If you have many computers and a server.
The method is to creat a share on the server (with sufficient space), add groups (with permissions).
Make a login script that will map (net use) a drive into this share.
IMHO this is the best way of sharing documents in a Office.
Centrelazation is the name of the game.

hey...it is just easier to use if it is a one time deal. You desktop support guys and mapping drives...

Not to meantion his reason was just to scan a document to a folder. Of course we all defer to the "best practices" that say you must create a share and write a logon script that maps your drives for you, all of this to scan a document to a folder. I setup networks all the time, and generally would do these things, but not for a simple document scan or a file transfer. Too much work and productivity lost.

You are right for some extent - It is always good to go on Best Practices.
Even if it is for small things - problems tend to grow (some say Expoenentially ).
I do accept and Respect your opinion though (Meaning - I am not flaming you in any manner).

As always - Keep the good Work
