batch file in xp

[Guest giddyup]

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\*.*

Here are a few recommendation:

- Click Start / Run / cmd{OK}, then invoke your batch file from

the Command Prompt you have just started. 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.
