Hello, I'm new to batch scripts.
I'm trying to copy a local folder to a folder on a remote PC.
Is there an easy way to do this with a script?
If the remote is mapped: copy c:\src x:\dest
=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.M2
Unfortunately, the remote is not mapped. Can this be included in the script as well?
I'm pretty sure it can but I don't have a network. Wait for one of the other guys to jump in.
=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.M2
cpro, net use * \\remote_computer\sharename
-maps to first available drive letter.net use x: \\remote_computer\sharename
- This will map to x: .
But then if then if x: is already mapped,
it will ask a question wheter to override the existing mapping.If you want to avoid that interactive question, you can call "net use x: /d" prior to mapping a new location.
In Summary, you have to put these commands in a filename.bat file and execute them:
net use x: /d
net use x: \\remote_computer\sharename
copy source\location\files* x:\desitnation\locationchange the specifics to suite ur needs.

Holla.
excellent. thanks for the help with this!
you could also use the default admin share to copy the files. copy C:\Folder \\compName\C$\Folder
