shortcut copy files from one comp to another

Post by *Matrix »

I want to have a button that copies files in a directory from one computer to another accross a network.

Eg copy all files in directory \\comp 1\C\My Documents\Outlook\Outlook Backup\ to C:\Documents and Settings\comp 2\My Documents\Program Files\Outlook\comp 1\Current\

Note the directory structure for comp 1 is what appears in total commander on my computer (comp 2)

Is this possible across a network by implementing shortcut button and commands within?

Many thanks

A button with:

command:cd \\comp 1\C\My Documents\Outlook\Outlook Backup\
parameter:
Start path: C:\Documents and Settings\comp 2\My Documents\Program Files\Outlook\comp 1\Current\


should open both directories in you TC. To select the fiels and trigger the copy automatically you would need an (external) scripting program.

But you may use a batch file as well:

Code: Select all

Copy "\\comp 1\C\My Documents\Outlook\Outlook Backup\" "C:\Documents and Settings\comp 2\My Documents\Program Files\Outlook\comp 1\Current\ "
should work.
