Batch file for copying files on network

by bradq . Updated 24 years, 10 months ago

I need to create a batch file that will copy some files (they all have file extensions of .dss) out of a directory on the workstations across the network and into a folder on the server (Windows 2000 Server) automatically using the task scheduler.
Both workstations that need the script are Windows 98. Here is the path the files are in on the workstations:

C:\Program Files\Olympus\DSSPlayerPRO\Message\FolderA

I created a move.bat file using the DOS Move command with this info:

cd C:\Progra~1\Olympus\DSSPla~1\Message\FolderA
move *.dss \\Hocnr\Voice\Message\FolderB

I get two different error messages on each pc. One is “cannot move *.dss – no such file or directory” and the other is “unable to delete destination on FolderA”. Both pc’s have permissions to the directory on the server. Any ideas?
