Mapping a PC drive via a VPN

HI,

I wonder if anyone can help me with this. I am new to Macs.

I have set up a VPN connection to the PC server in my office but do not know how to map the drive.

I have the following batch file that did the job when I was using a PC but do not know what to enter as the server address on the iMac.

@echo off
rasdial ymc ymcvpn JulyTwenty20
if errorlevel 1 goto VPNERROR
echo VPN Connected Successfully
echo Now Attempting to map S: drive to \\serverpc\documents folder.
echo Please enter password for YMCPD and press Enter (it will not show it being typed):
net use S: \\132.168.59.200\Documents /User:serverpc\YMCPD * >nul
If errorlevel 1 goto MAPERROR
echo Drive S: Mapped Successfully
goto End
:VPNERROR
echo Sorry there was a problem connecting the VPN. Please try later.
goto End
:MAPERROR
echo Sorry there was a problem with mapping the drive. Please try disconnecting first.
:End
pause

Can anyone suggest what I can try?

You cannot map a drive in that way, especially as unix does not use drive letters so e S: \\192.168.53.100\Documents means nothing to the mac os

What is the batch file trying to do, auto mount a drive on login?

Once the VPN connection is established can you see the server in the left hand column in the finder under shared (above devices)

I can see "server PC" in the Finder but a connection cannot be made.

The batch file is supposed to allow login with a password.

The batch file you have will only work for windows, have they given you the password and username or is the batch file supposed to automate that?

The batch file is supposed to take me to the folder on the server which is accessible to me only (known as YMCPD) and I am then asked for a password (which I have).

By the way, I can no longer see the server in the Finder although it is shown as "connected".

Thanks for trying to help.
