Hello,
I'm new to batch scripts.
I'm trying to copy a local folder to a folder on a remote PC.

If the remote is mapped:
copy c:\src x:\dest

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.

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\location
change the specifics to suite ur needs.
