Net file
Displays the names of all open shared files on a server and the number of file locks, if any, on each file. This command also closes individual shared files and removes file locks. Used without parameters, net file displays a list of the open files on a server.
Syntax
net file [ID [/close]]
Parameters
ID : Specifies the identification number of the file.
/close : Closes an open file and releases locked records. Type this command from the command prompt on the server where the file is shared.
net help command : Displays help for the specified net command.
Remarks
-
You can also type net files to run this command.
-
Use net file to view and control files shared on the network. Sometimes, a user leaves a shared file open and locked by mistake. When this happens, other computers on the network cannot gain access to the locked portions of the file. Use net file /close to remove the lock and close the file. Net file output is similar to the following:
File Path Username #locks
---------------------------------------------
0 C:\A_FILE.TXT MARYSL 0
1 C:\DATABASE DEBBIET 2
Examples
To view information about shared files, type:
net file
To close a file that has the identification number 1, type:
net file 1 /close
