How to give right path in .bat file to copy file from windows server to local windows


Hi I am making a batch file that will copy a file from the users c drive of a server to the local machine.

This is what i have so far.

net use "\\\Trail01" "trail@1234" "/USER:ashique.sheikh"

XCOPY /Y "\\\Trail01\c:\Users\ashique.sheikh\Desktop\Day2.R"  "D:\newfolder"

My server name is \\Trail01.

The file path is c:\Users\ashique.sheikh\Desktop\Day2.R.


Solution

  • Try this, you will need the admin credentials for the net use though as the C drive is an administrative share

    net use N: \\trail01\c$ trail@1234 /USER:ashique.sheikh
    
    XCOPY /Y "N:\Users\ashique.sheikh\Desktop\Day2.R" "D:\newfolder"
