need file utility that can move files from one location to another, checking all the time
we have a scanner that cannot transfer files over the vpn by itself so i need a utility that can look at one folder on a computer move the files to another folder accross the vpn on a server on a different subnet. it needs to delete the files from the orginal location and just move them to the other location. is there anything like this??

copying from computer is windows 7, copying to a windows server 2008.
That shouldnt matter. I believe robocopy is installed by default on both of those operating systems.

i am going to give richcopy a try, it looks like what exactly i need it to do. i will post results
ASKER
so i tried richcopy and it works moves the files perfectly and deletes from the source also but how do i get it run all the time? the option /n says is not available. do i need to use a different utility or do i need to make a script for it to run all the time? any help would be great

just as a further comment, we are still testing. the scanner utility did not work but we are using robocopy gui to transfer the files over the vpn to the server and it is working but corrupts a few here and there. that's what I'm working on now. any other help why?

no one had an answer, we had to go with new equipment
Robocopy is a command line utility and also a GUI version avialable. Both work the same.
