accessing the mapped network drives using mingw shell

Try cd /y/ to solve your problem

I find I have to use the mount command first. If I have a USB stick on drive E: then in the mingw shell:

mount e: /e

Only then can I run cd /e/. You can run mount without parameters to list all the currently known file systems. umount /e will remove the link between E: and /e/.

Try this format in MINGW64 shell (Bash for windows)

$ cd //IP_Address_of_remote_drive/Path/To/The/Folder/
