Re: perl robocopy to temp mapped drive.

Are you sure Robocopy does not work with the full unc path? I mean, just doing some googling here and I find topics that are related to your error on multiple forums and suggestions on how to overcome this.

Examples of what I find: Using the flags /COPY:DT /DCOPY:T here or not using the /COPYALL flag here or using /FFT flag here. So maybe you can also show us the Robocopy command line instructions that you tried to use?

If all not works, regards to mapping a drive you may also be interested in Win32::FileOp which seems to have a nice Map instruction.

Hope it helps, Veltro

Just had an error with robocopy using the /B flag and had to change it to the /z flag because of these errors when trying to copy to the mapped unc path (with drive letter). net use * "\\BLAH\NESTED\OBFUSCATED.WITH SPECIAL_CHARS\SHARE\NAME\DOWN +\DEEP" ----- Drive Z: is now connected to \\BLAH\NESTED\OBFUSCATED.WITH SPECIAL_CHA +RS\SHARE\NAME\DOWN\DEEP.
