I want to login on the network and map remote dir to local dir. Here is what
I tried with win32wnet:

>>> import win32wnet
>>> from winnetwk import *
>>>
win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2(RESOURCETYPE_DISK,'e:/','\\\\mars\\tehnolog\\fi
cko','','username','password')
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in ?

win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2(RESOURCETYPE_DISK,'e:/','\\\\mars\\tehnolog\\fi
cko','','username','password')
api_error: (0, 'WNetAddConnection2', 'No error message is available')

I want to write a script that will login on the network, copy the files to
the server (backup) and disconnect from server. Is that possible with Python
from Windows 95.
