JSI Tip 8528. PsFile freeware is a 'net file' replacement that can work remotely.

When you type net file, it lists the files on your computer that are opened remotely.

NOTE: See tip 3486 » How do I close all opened shared files on my 'server'?.

PsFile freeware will do the same thing, plus it can work remotely, and it can close open files by name or by file identifier.

When you type PsFile /?, you receive:

PsFile v1.01 - local and remote network file lister

               remote computer.
