File Transfer
I have 4 .img files that are 120mb each. i want to write a script for these files and schedule a task to have them transfer overnight to a remote locations. How can i do this with windows 2008 tash scheduler??
Please refer http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwebcommander/files/.
That WebCommander stuff looks like overkill. You didn't mention what language you wanted to script it in. The script you ask for would be pretty easy to write in Powershell. Do you have it installed? If you're using Windows Server 2008 R2 then it's installed by default, but not non-R2. You'd have to install it.
Also are the two locations on Windows servers joined to a domain? This simplifies authentication in the script.

If you do have Powershell available on the server running the script then here's the code. Put it in notepad and save it as a .PS1 file. Just replace the source and destination with the locations you want on lines 2 and 3. In Windows task scheduler create a task that calls the script like this:
-Action: Start a program
-Program/script: Powershell
-Add arguments: -file "c:\scripts\myscript.ps1"
-Action: Start a program
-Program/script: Powershell
-Add arguments: -file "c:\scripts\myscript.ps1"
#specify locations for source and destination
$source = "\\server1\c$\myfiles"
$destination = "\\server2\c$\myfiles"
#copy the files
Copy-Item -Path $source -Destination $destination
