Guest giddyup Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Will something like this work to copy files across the network? I have one that is accesable through the ip address only. When I run this, it seems to go through instantly but does not show the results desire. What am I doing wrong? Thanks xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\USER25\Desktop\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\USER23\Desktop\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\USER22\Desktop\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\USER21\Desktop\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\USER_TWO\Desktop\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\User_three\desk\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\192.168.1.16\d\Price Lists\*.* xcopy C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists\*.* \\NORTH\alldesk\Price Lists\*.*

You will now see all messages, including any error messages. - Don't use asterisks for your target. You don't need them. - Use the /Y switch to prevent the batch file from pausing. - Use the /D switch to prevent the batch file from redoing stuff already done. - Use the /C switch to get the batch file to continue on finding locked files. - Use double quotes when dealing with embedded spaces. You can use them everywhere if you wish! xcopy /Y /D /C "C:\1adata\Adobe\Price Lists" "\\User_three\desk\Price Lists\" On a minor point: If you give your PCs the names of users (e.g. "User three") then you will have a problem each time somebody leaves the company. Either you upset his successor by keeping the name or you change the name and lose its history after a while.
