That can be done with Xcopy. Type XCOPY /? in cmd for a list of avaible options.
To use in a batch, just paste the command in notepad, and save the file as a .bat or .cmd

The copy process is easy enough, it is the directing to the network drive that is giving me grief. I keep getting a parse error. I would just drag the file over to update it, but this has to be simple enough for someone who is not that sure on how to open anything.
