Creating a Batch File to send files from a Local Drive to a Network Drive
69Writing a small program to send files by a click saves times. It automates a repetitive process which you must do everyday. Most people these days work using their computers. We have to make backups of the files that were working on everyday. We can backup the files to different directories on different hard drives on our computers, or we can send it to other computers in the network. In this case, this batch file is used to send files to a directory on another computer.
Process
1. Map out a network drive.
2. Open up Notepad
3. Find the directory of the source and destination drives.
4. Write code into notepad
Echo
xcopy C:\File \\CompinNetwork\\File Folder /Switch(Switch is optional)
5. Save the notepad file to a .bat file.
Copy Command
xcopy /s /e "drive:\Filesource" "drive:\Filetarget" /y
(This will copy all files and directories to the directory you want)
Example.
xcopy /s /e "c:\file1" "d:\file2" /y
Send a single file or specific file
xcopy "drive:\file1\filename.pdf" "drive:\file2"
Example:
xcopy "c:\file1\document.pdf" "c:\file2\sub1"
(This code sends a document.pdf file which is in directory c:\file1 to a directory with a subdirectory c:\file2\sub1)
