Use Robocopy to copy files and folders to computers lsied in a test file

Does this work?  Replace <filetocopy> with the name of the file to copy.

FOR /F "eol=; tokens=2,3* delims=, " %i in (myfile.txt) do copy <filetocopy> %i
 

And myfile.txt with your text file with the computer names.

Check following batch script, if this works for you.

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

IF NOT EXIST Computers.txt GOTO ShowErr
FOR %%R IN (Computers.txt) DO IF %%~zR EQU 0 GOTO ShowErr

FOR /F %%c in ('TYPE Computers.txt') DO (
ECHO Processing: %%c
    PING -n 1 -w 1000 %%c |FIND /I "TTL" >NUL
	IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (
		Robocopy "C:\DATA" "\\%%c\D$\DATA"
	)ELSE (ECHO *** ERROR *** %%c: System Offline.))

GOTO EndScript

:ShowErr
ECHO 'Computers.txt' file does not exist or file is empty!

:EndScript
ENDLOCAL
:: *** SCRIPT END ***

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt response, I was hoping to use robocopy as the folder has 1GB of data and I would like to log the robocopy. This is the code I have for copy to one file.

robocopy.exe "\\%computername%\C$\Distribution"  "\\UKIMIV00023883\c$\Distribution" /MIR /E

Instead of one machine name UKIMIV00023883 I would like to parse a list compiled in a text file of computers.

Many thanks,

Then farhankazi has it.  Or you can replace the command in mine:

FOR /F "eol=; tokens=2,3* delims=, " %i in (myfile.txt) do robocopy  "\\%computername%\C$\Distribution" "\\%i\c$\Distribution" /MIR /E
