Whats wrong with this? Command echo f|xcopy "\\server\client\connection.RDP" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\connection.RDP" works fine if you run it by itself.

Pass it through psexec I get Parse Error

No need for psexec; it's a lot easier to copy that file directly to the clients:
@ECHO ON

set controlfile=computers.txt

FOR /F %%L IN (%controlfile%) DO (
	>CON: echo Copying to %%L
	echo Copying to %%L
	copy "\\server\client\connection.RDP" "\\%%L\C$\Users\Public\Desktop\connection.RDP"
) >> allpcsresults.txt 2>&1
