I have a folder in my C: drive

I need to write a batch file to copy the contents of that batch file to a folder on a server

it needs to overwrite the files without prompting yes or no

how do I do this?

(stupid clients, not for me)

then from another pc

I need to write a batch file that goes and grabs the contents of that folder and dumps it on my local drive

you can pass it command line switches etc

Paul, it's pretty simple

Just do a IF NOT EXIST C:\FolderBla
MD C:\FolderBla
Xcopy \\PC1\<folder you've shared> C:\FolderBla /r /d /y

What's good about the /r /d /y

Is that it only overwrites the files if the files from the source are newer than the existing files and it does it without prompting.

thus if you have a file that you need to update on a whole bunch of machines you just share a directory where it will compare the file to the one on their machine to the one shared and overwrite if needed.

You can also use these in logon scripts etc. I keep about 100 templates in sync on the network via logon.
