Definition

Use this command to share any directory on a Windows workstation.

The shared directory can reside locally (on the workstation you execute the command from) or on a remote host (RemoteShare).

The following permissions will be assigned for the shared directory:
Name: Everybody
Access: Full Control

If you want to create a share for a remote host in another domain, you need to make sure that the C$ directory on the remote host is connected successfully. To connect to (or disconnect from) C$ you can use the NetUseEx and NetDisconnect commands.
