I've got a Win NT 4 server and a DOS machine.
I've got their conections done, but when I use xcopy to copy files from server to DOS, only the folders that only contain txt files can be copied.
Or else it gives a "Network device no longer exists reading drive x" error..

Is there any thing I need to edit , interms of files sharing and user rights?

Have you mapped the necessary drive share while in DOS? If not, you won't have connectivity and authentication to the server. So, in turn, you won't be able to copy any files using DOS commands.
