How do I run a CMD command on a sharepoint server

Question

I am trying to run a CMD command on a SharePoint server to get its file structure (xcopy) but I cannot find any information on how to direct my cmd command at the SharePoint. I have admin access to the SharePoint, but the file server is on Microsoft's server.

So how would I go about running a CMD command to SharePoint without using Power Automation. I can use Power Shell if there is a similar command there, but I still don't know how to contact the SharePoint server.

Hi @Joshua Lebreton ,

Do you want to xcopy the file structure in the SharePoint server library to another server? We need to map to the network drive first, and then xcopy. The file server on Microsoft's server is in another domain, right? If it is not a server in the same domain, I suggest you look for a third-party tool to see if this function can be realized.

About map SharePoint as a network drive, please refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/614462/linking-sharepoint-site-to-a-network-drive
