Hi, How can I schedule to copy files from a NT Server folder to another system over LAN ? I've tried "AT" command but need a freeware GUI utility.

Hi,
Other option is "robocopy.exe" from resource kit. It is not a GUI utility but is very good for this job, can be used in a batch and can be scheduled.
Also "xcopy" can be an option.

Ok, as you can tell by the above answers, there are several ways to schedule a copy job to copy files over the network. I agree with the Alpha-Male: write a BAT file that contains the copy command WITH the proper user account info included that youwill need to copy the files across the network, and schedule the BAT file to run.
But, if you want a GUI to build and run your schedule, where you can drag'n'drop items around, then try the OpalisRobot 4.0:

A good GUI task scheduler.

hope this helps
