Map network drive in java

[Aruna Jayabalu]

Hi all,

I was trying to map a remote ip to my machine in a java program..

String command= "net use K: \\\\10.234.34..\\test\\ /USER:username password";
Process output = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

The above code works perfectly.
But the below command does'nt work. That's because of the space in the folder name.
String command= "net use K: \\\\10.234.34..\\test folder\\ /USER:username password";

Can you please suggest any solution for the above problem?

Thanks,
Aruna.J

Add double quotes around the path.

Hi,

Command is a String.. So its already enclosed within double quotes...
Even though meaning less, I even tried like this

String command= "net use K: \\\\10.234.34..\\"+"test folder"+ /USER:username password";
But no luck...
Have I understood your suggestion correctly?

Thanks,

Try this
String command= "net use K: \\\\10.234.34..\\"+"\"test folder\""+ /USER:username password";

As Rob mentioned double quotes around the whole path will be good.

\\10.234.34..\\"test folder"
dint not work..

But quotes for the entire path worked!!!

"\\10.234.34..\\test folder"


Thanks a lot!!!

I guess here you forgot to escape the last double-quote.

No, you really have to put the quotes around the entire path, including the server name, as Aruna has already found out.
