Remembering passwords?

[Brian Cody]

I have a computer running a backup procedure daily which
requires files to be copied (batch file) to another
computer. However, it seems that the source computer
forgets quite often the username and password for the
remote computer.

Is there a way to prevent the computer copying the file
from forgetting the password, or a way to specify in the
command line? "\\userass@host\" does not seem to work
right. Alternatively, is there anything that can be done
on the destination computer to allow easier access to the
one source computer?

There is no domain set up, and I don't want to get into
that dragging the rest of the hundreds of computers into
it just to copy a file, so I'm looking for a simple
solution.

you may have many options. 1. just enable guest account so that you don't
need password. 2. or add mapping with the username and password into the
batch file, for example net use \\computername\shared password
/user:username.
