ceez Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 zup peeps,I remember reading a post in which someone explained how to use the xcopy command to copy files from a directory in 1 pc, and then have those copied to a network drive. I tried tinkering with the xcopy command but have no luck, I even tried a simple testxcopy c:\source c:\destinationwhen I run the cmd it just scrolls all the way down the screen non stop.C:\Documents and Settings\Ceez.WINXP\Desktop>xcopy c:\source c:\destC:\Documents and Settings\Ceez.WINXP\Desktop>xcopy c:\source c:\destC:\Documents and Settings\Ceez.WINXP\Desktop>xcopy c:\source c:\destC:\Documents and Settings\Ceez.WINXP\Desktop>xcopy c:\source c:\destand nothing is copied from the folders. Does anyone remember that post or can tell me how to make a batch file to copy files from 1 pc 2 another?thkz peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 xcopy is the correct command. The syntax you are using is also correct. Are you sure there are files in the directory ?Also check the spelling of the path names. Its easy to make a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
