How to copy a file from 1 pc to another pc in network using batch file

[mmkarimi]

i got this error...

And thats because you didnt share your E:\ Drive first

 

[Parman]

If you dont want to setup the share we can still attempt to access it via the hidden share E$

 

[abbynard]

i went into the file and click properties... the Location is...

E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals

The folder Battle of Immortals is already shared and its network path is \\ABJANINE35\Battle of Immortals
The folder Online Games is already shared and its network path is \\ABJANINE35\Online Games
The drive itself is already shared and its network path is \\Abjanine35\e

 

[Parman]

Go to an explorer and verify that you can access \\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals

If you can then use this command string.

robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir

That was 100% my fault it didn't work sorry about that.

 

[abbynard]

i went to an explorer and accessed \\ABJanine35\Battle of Immortals
i tried to copy and paste
robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir
and run it to ABJanine34.... it wont work

 

[Parman]

Can you post the error message again?

Also like i said before it would be better to accomplish the if you only replace the files that you need to replace.

Do you know what files you need to keep updated?

 

[abbynard]

when i run the batch file the command prompt will open and close in a blink of an eye

 

[Parman]

are you running this as a batch file? or just a command?

If its a batch file add a new line and place the word pause

 

[abbynard]

pause
robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir

yes im running it as a batch file

 

[Parman]

you want to say

robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir

pause


-edit-

If you want a log file to make sure the command was successful. you change the command to look like this.

robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir /log:Copy_Battle_log.txt

This will create a text file that logs your robocopy command. It will be in the same folder as the batch file.

error

 

[Parman]

Now its saying access denied. You need to edit the permissions of the folder on the ABJ.... PC.

This topic will help you set the permissions.

its already running and no error yet but i dont know if its good... is it gonna copy all the files of the folder?

 

[Parman]

Thats good. Remember that with the /mir its only going to copy what it thinks is new.

 

[abbynard]

oh so this code is just copying the newer files?

robocopy "E:\Online Games\Battle of Immortals\Battle of the Immortals" "\\ABJanine35\Battle of the Immortals" /e /mir

 

[Parman]

Yes. Thats what you asked for. If you want it to replace all just remove the /mir this time.

 

[abbynard]

ok thank you very much i hope this would work just fine its still copying.... thank you

 

[Parman]

No problem I'm glad i could assist. If you need anything else just post back.

 

[abbynard]

ok thanks again
