LAN programming under Windows?
About 10-15 years ago I had set up a small network in my office using Lantastic. One of the features was their programming facility (if 'programming' is the right word).
You could enter commands such as:
NET date
NET cd\
NET program.nam
NET cls
etc.
and they would be executed on the target machine. I was able to use this capability to program remote machines to do various tasks and we would pass files back and forth and so on.
I now have another network at home, and, of course, it's a lot faster and I'd like to do the same sort of thing (I'm trying to put a backup file server in the basement) but the only obvious thing I've been able to do is pass files back and forth.
Running Win XP SP3. Does this sort of capability exist under Windows, or would I need additional software from somebody. If so, who would you recommend?
