Is there a way I can access network drives on the school network from my home.
You can create a VPN, and then use Windows Remote Desktop to log on. Or, another simple solution, install Dropbox, and there's an addon for it to automatically run scripts that you put in a directory, and your scripts can copy that resource into the dropbox folder, which is automatically sycned with your account.

I'm developing a website using Word Press (Elementor plugin) and I want to create a custom widget. I found a tutorial I want to follow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko9i153o_iU), the only problem is that I have no idea how to access the code on my local machine to begin. From what I can tell, everything I'm doing is on the word press website, and the code isn't on my local machine. How do I go about getting the code onto my local machine so I can begin working with it in vscode?
You need a way to spin up local apache or nginx server and mysql, along with Wordpress. I suggest the app Local:
https://localwp.com/
Then, if you want to copy your production environment (your website), you need to get the files for the theme and any plugins onto your local environment. Local pairs with some hosting providers to make this easy. Otherwise you can install by downloading the files. Some hosting providers give you FTP or SFTP access to your site files. Figure out how you can gain access and download them.
Lastly, if you want, you can copy the database over to your local environment. There is a great plugin called WP Sync DB that does this for free. It can also be a way to push your local environment to your production environment, but I definitely suggest keeping backups if you are going to do that.
I set up a machine with Ubuntu 14.4.1 yesterday and I am trying to use it as remote storage for a project I am working on remotely with a few people. I know nothing about hosting servers, so I am attempting to avoid the issue entirely by just treating it like a local area network using Hamachi.
The Ubuntu machine has 2 hard drives - a boot drive on which Linux is installed and a larger data drive. I am attempting to share a directory on the data drive via samba so that it can be accessed via Hamachi by windows 7 machines.
I am able to see the directories that I have shared, but when I try to enter them, I get a permission denied error. When I share a directory within my /home/user/ directory, it works fine. Is there any way that I can share a directory on my data drive?
Perhaps I could make a symbolic link from my user directory to the data drive? Would that actually work? I am not familiar.
If it is NTFS, you can't change the permissions, which will be the issue.
I hope I can get some help with this from someone here on this awesome website.
Im a complete noob when it comes to writing batch scripts and I would really like some help.
My situation..
I currently have a network drive on a PC running Windows Server 2008. The drive letter is I:/
within the I-drive, I have a folder named aaaaeast and within that folder is all of my .mdb's
I would like the .bat to copy a specific .mdb from I:/aaaaeast/ to a XP SP3 machine I have in the other room on startup.
Ive tried
copy \myserver\myshare\myfolder\myfile.txt c:\myfiles
But it fails to find the network path.
I know this is got to be a permission issue. My network doesnt have a domain and all the PC's I map to the I:/ map through the Guest account on the Win 2008 server using (username: Guest with no password)
Can someone please help or point me in the right direction.
Ok, this works for me where I work. There is a mapped drive to the location where the master .mdb is.
That is "i:\" drive.
copy i:\ets\lead\software\paint\leadmain.mdb c:\paint
it copies the .mdb to the "c:\paint" drive on the computer where the client clicked on the .bat file. It has been a while so I can't remember where the .bat file sits. Pretty sure it is on the client's computer.
Open Notepad, add the code above, and save making sure to pick the option "All files" down below. That way you can change the extension to .bat from .txt.
copy \\myserver\myshare\myfolder\myfile.txt c:\myfiles
Note: double-backslash
A UNC path (path to a network resource) requires that the target computer name be preceded by two backslashes. Otherwise, starting with \ means "start at the root of the current drive". (Perhaps this was just a typo in the post—that wouldn't cause an error 53.)
Regarding accounts, Windows doesn't really like no-password accounts. There are times when it won't let authentication succeed for a null password. You might try creating an account (with the same name as the username/password on the XP machine) on the 2008 machine and trying it just to see if the user has access to the share. A simple test of that would be something like "dir \myserver\myshare".
If you didn't want to sync accounts, you could create a third user on the 2008 machine and map the share (from the XP machine) as that user. You can also tell Windows to remember the credentials it used for that mapping if you wanted to (i.e. for convenience, definitely not security).
I have installed Tsung and its up and running for HTTP, however, the main intention is to use Tsung for WebDAV testing. But I do not see recorder picking up any of my actions on a mounted drive. I am using this command:
tsung-recorder -p webdav start
If I go through browser, then the actions are recorded but if I go via mounted web drive, nothing gets recorded.
I am wondering whether the mounted drive testing for web drive is actually supported by Tsung or not. Also is it possible to perform actions like cretaing, copying, editing resources on mounted drive?
I am also ok to work without recorder (through scripting only) if possible.
How can I read a text file resides in a remote machine? There is no share exists in that machine and I am not allowed to create any share or file in the remote machine. Also I am not allowed to run any client program in the remote machine. My program is a ASP.net in C# residing in a IIS webserver. For linux machine we used ssh connections and file reads are easy. Is there something by default available in windows similiar to it ?
Thanks,

The first question to ask is if there's a good business reason to read that file. If yes, the IT people will have to allow you a reasonable solution to the problem.
I have frequently used SFTP (secure FTP) for this kind of problem. Unfortunately SFTP is not part of Windows, but there are free and low-cost SFTP servers available. Here's a list from Wikipedia
Explain to IT why you need access to that file and discuss options including SFTP. If you have a valid business reason for this and they will "not let you because of policy", it's the job of your project manager or boss to clear out that roadblock. Ask them to help.
Finally, consider whether it's practical for the file on the remote machine to be pushed to you instead of you pulling it. If you can setup a file share on your PC, ask them to setup a job on the remote server that copies the file to your file share every time it is changed.
You could try accessing the Admin share of the machine. Windows by default created a share for all disks (named C$, D$ etc). But in that case the application you write should be running with the credentials of a user with rights to that share ((local) administrators have sufficient rights to do that).
If that doesn't work you need to create a share or install software to get files from that machine (like FTP). This is all because of security, it's a good thing you are not able to just read a file from any machine...
I have done this many time with the Remote File port 34
