!!! tip "Usage of Administrative Shares" !!! tip "Usage of Administrative Shares"
Whenever dealing with copying data from one server to another, try to leverage "Administrative Shares", sometimes referred to as "Default Shares". These exist in such a way that, if the server exists in a Windows-based domain, you can type something like `\\SERVER\C$` or `\\SERVER\E$` to access files and bypass most file access restrictions (Generally for reading data, writing works too, but not in all circumstances). Whenever dealing with copying data from one server to another, try to leverage "Administrative Shares", also referred to as "Default Shares". These exist in such a way that, if the server exists in a Windows-based domain, you can type something like `\\SERVER\C$` or `\\SERVER\E$` to access files and bypass most file access restrictions (ACLs). This generally only applies to read-access, write-access may be denied in some circumstances.
An adjusted example can be seen below to account for this usage. **This example assumes you are running robocopy from the source computer**. An adjusted example can be seen below to account for this usage. **This example assumes you are running robocopy from the destination computer**.
**Remember**: You are always **PULLING** data with administrative shares, not pushing it, the source should be the administrative share, and the destination should always be local.
