I need to create a batch file to move large (10GB+) directories around off hours.
I wanted to test my commands so I created a test folder and tried to move it from one server to another. When dragging and dropping through windows explorer it works, but when going through cmd shell, I get an “access is denied” message.
Is it because I am using mapped drives? So I am connected to server 1 right now, trying to move ‘test’ folder to server 2 which is mapped to drive z: So i put in, “move d:\test z:\” to which I get access is denied.
But like I said, if I go into windows explorer on server 1, open up D:\ select ‘test’ folder and drag it over to Z: , it works fine.
Edit: its not the mapped drive, cause I tried moving it from d: to c: and got the same message.
