Hi guys ,

Struggling a bit on a batch file.

All it has to do is copy backup.zip from local location (NT server)

f:\blah\blahblah\backup.zip

to a server location \disk5\andyp\ on a local ip 192.168.2.105 (Solaris machine)

could anyone help? Im struggling around the open bit and entering user name and password.

cheers for any ideas or links


andy

Think you would have to use the 'net use' command within NT, basically you map to the drive with net use, copy your file then disconect the mapped drive

(I would explain further, but im not at work, and no NT here to mess around with!)

hope that helps a bit!

I need to set this up as a weekly scheduled task btw !

 

how about...

copy f:\blah\blahblah\backup.zip \\192.168.2.105\disk5\andyp

assuming that you have authenticated and that disk5 is a valid share name.... drop me a mail if you get stuck to david.wallis@ventura-uk.com

or

@echo off
Net use z: /delete
net use z: \\192.168.2.105\disk5 /user:username password**
copy f:\blah\blahblah\backup.zip z:\andyp
net use z: /delete

** where password is your password... (not right secure though)
if you want it a tiny bit more secure, run bat2exe / bat2com.. but
you can easily find it out...

cheers David

will this work with solaris as the server as Im copying to??

thanks


andy

 

doubt it.. unless you can run something like samba or whatever it is... if it wont then you'd be better ftp'ing it rather than trying to do a copy over netbios etc..

David

 

looks like its an ftp then, so my next problem - how to do that command line style... I know how to do it in dos ie

ftp
open
192.168.2.104
username
password
cd lcd or whatever
bin
then get or put


however cant make it work in the batch file


andy

 

ftp -s:script.txt -i 192.168.x.x

then script.txt
username
password
bin <-if needed
cd "Foldername"
put "whatever"
bye


you get the picture...

David

 

For weekly scheduled, read the AT comment help...

 

**** that get winat.exe from the res kit..

David

 

did it work?
