I simply want to copy some files from one Directory to another. The Problem is, that the files were indeed copied, but for every file I get an error saying, that I am not authorized to Access Destination Directory.The Destination Directory shown in the error is not a Directory but a filename, actually the Name of the file actually being copied
For Example:
"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\temp\FileExport\Sample\archive\Arc9wa\samplesys\data\UPR00000\0000003E.bmp"
How can I Prevent this Happening? What am I doing wrong?
My Copy-File Command:
Copy-Item "$File" -Destination "$Destination" -Recurse -force
Complete Code Looks like:
[string]$samplepath = Resolve-Path /*\config\serversetup2
$first_letter= $samplepath.SubString(0,1)
$dpath=$first_letter+":"
$path = Get-Location
Copy-Item '/*\config\serversetup2' -Destination $dpath'\temp\serversetup2\' -recurse -force
$samplepath -match'(?<content>.*)config'
$respath= $matches['content']
$fileexport= "\FileExport"
[String[]]$Destination = Join-Path -Path $path -ChildPath $fileexport
[String[]]$Source = $respath
[String[]]$FilePattern = "*"
$Result = @()
Write-Host "Copying '$($Source -join ", ")' to '$($Destination -join ", ")'..." -ForegroundColor Green
$FileCount = (Get-ChildItem $Source -Recurse -File -Include $FilePattern -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Count
$i = 0
$NotFound = $true
$Duration = Measure-Command {
foreach ($File in (Get-ChildItem -Path $Source -Recurse -File -Include $FilePattern -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
global:$i++
Write-Progress -Activity "Copying '$($Source -join ", ")' to '$($Destination.FullName)'" -Status "Copied $i out of $FileCount..." -PercentComplete ($i/$FileCount*100)
Write-Verbose "Copying '$($Source -join ", ")' to '$($Destination.FullName)'"
foreach ($File in $Source) {
Copy-Item "$File" -Destination "$Destination" -Recurse -force
}
}
}
Write-Host "Finished Export"
Instead of using Copy-Item I am using Robocopy. There were also many Bugs in my Code. Here is my new Code working fine:
[string]$samplepath = Resolve-Path /*\temp
$samplepath -match'(?<content>.*)temp'
$respath= $matches['content']
$first_letter= $samplepath.SubString(0,1)
$dpath=$first_letter+":"
$path = Get-Location
$exppath = Join-Path -Path "$path\" -ChildPath "\FileExport"
New-Item -Path "$dpath\Sample" -ItemType Directory -force
$newpath = Join-Path -Path "$dpath" -ChildPath "Sample"
Write-Host "Starting import"
robocopy "$exppath" "$newpath" /e
Write-Host "Process finished"
