Hi I know this isn't the best forum for this but you're all so helpful ...I know theres going to be someone here can tell me how to do this (I've tried other computer help forums without a reply) OK...I want to learn how to write a batch file that will copy a file from one computer to another on my network I can do this manually (copy and paste) but havn't a clue how to write a batch file for it. Ideally I'd like to be able to copy it to a folder other than shared folder so presumably I have to open this on the network but...what is the command for the batch file? I'd then be able to put the batch file in scheduled events and not have to worry that my data is being transferred on time Thanks in advance for any help.
