title: How to list folder permissions located on a different server
body: <p>I'm fairly new to PowerShell and am running into a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I want to do the following:</p>
  
  <p>Get list of permissions/users on a single folder on a different server than where I am running my PowerShell window from.</p>
  
  <p>Current command failing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-acl -path "\\servername\folder" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Error Message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Get-acl : Cannot find path '\\servername\folder' because it does not exist</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does this command only work on the local machine?</p>
