This solution is only available to members.

You would need a shared folder on the remote PCs because xcopy to \\remotepc1\Temp folder will not work unless "temp folder" is a share name. If you try this it may work \\remotepc1\c$\Temp folder assuming that the default share c$ has not been disabled. How many remote PCs are you working on?
You can run a simple script as below
Open a notepad and put all the copy that you want to do as follow.
@ECHO OFF
Echo This section copy to remote PC/Server
xcopy .exe to \\remotepc1\Temp folder
xcopy .exe to \\remotepc2\Temp folder
xcopy .exe to \\remotepc3\Temp folder
