```
$ip = '\\192.168.233.128\Test'
 $password = "abc123!" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
 $username = "Administrator" 
 $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
 New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root $ip -Credential $credential -ErrorAction Stop 
 dir C:\File_One.txt | copy -Destination Z: -PassThru
 Remove-PSDrive -name Z
```

This Code Works fine between my base machine and VM, It also worked with another PC connected to my router.  
But when i tried Implementing it on clients network it doesn’t let me create the PSDrive, and Script Failed.  
The credentials provided were correct.

Any help would be beneficial.

if you do the action manaul does it give an error? Then you can see if it has to do something with rights/policy
