Command Line script for coping files.

[asifm]

Hi Masters,

 

Can someone please help me out?

I want a script which can copy some zip files from one server to another server. Need for windows 2003 servers.

 

For eg:

 

From \\server1\share1 to \\server2\c$\temp

 

Note: We have to specify file names which needs to be copied. Installable.zip, software.zip, plugins.zip, hotfix.zip .... etc.

 

 

Thanks in Advance!

Hi would this script help?

 

Its a Powershell Script for copying files from a source to a destination and forcing folder creation if it does not exist at the destination, see below:

 

$targetdirectory = "D:\To"

$sourcedirectory = "\\server\from"

 

if (!(Test-Path -path $targetdirectory)) {New-Item $targetdirectory -Type Directory}

Copy-Item -Path $sourcedirectory\file.zip -Destination $targetdirectory

Robocopy can do this easily. You can provide a set of filenames to copy on the command line.

 

Robocopy "Robust File Copy" | Windows CMD | SS64.com

This will not work on Win 2003 server.

Either download and install the Windows Management Framework to use the PowerShell script that @rickypike posted, or download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools to get a copy of RoboCopy.

 

Alternatively, use XCopy which is included with the OS.

If you're referring to Robocopy not working, you are mistaken. I've been using it on Windows platforms since 1999...

I want to copy multiple files can you provide me syntax for xcopy.

I want to copy multiple files can you provide me syntax for xcopy.

Click the XCopy link I posted above (or run XCopy /? from the Command Prompt) to view the syntax.
