Help moving a file from one server to another server using Powershell

Hello Powershell Experts –

I’m trying to write a powershell script that will check for the existence of a file on the local server (ServerA) and move it to another server (ServerB) if the file exists.  Here is what I have:

$data = Test-Path c:\source\*.cce

if($data = "true"){
$net = New-Object -ComObject wscript.network
$net.MapNetworkDrive("K:", "\\ServerB\target", $false, "MyDomain\file_t", "p@55word")
}
      
Move-Item c:\source K:\

When I run the code above, I get a message stating that a drive with the name 'K' does not exist.  When I open Explorer, there is a drive with the drive letter of K.  What am I missing here?  Also, could someone tell me what the $false is.  I put it in the script because all the examples I was basing the code from had it.

Sorry for the dumb questions.

Thanks in advanced for all of your help.
