Need a script to copy files from a local drive to a folder at another location

As you don't reveal your secret script, you can study one that works the other way round:

Deploy and update a Microsoft Access application in a Citrix environment

It should be nothing more than reduce it to the copying part and reverse the local and remote folder.

/gustav

That script I'm sure is great, but completely over my head.   Below is what we currently use to copy photos from a local folder to a folder over our network.  All I want to do is copy two files from a local folder to a remote folder.  

I tried changing this script but it doesn't work.   I think because of the portion of the code that uses monthname.

How do I modify this code or can you create one for me, please?


Option Explicit
Dim strSource, strDest, strFolderName, strFolderPath
Dim objFSO

strSource = "\\client\c$\photos"
strDest = "\\fileserver\community files\Public Files\Pet-Ark"

strFolderName = Right("0" & Day(Date), 2) & _
    MonthName(Month((Date))) & Year(Date) & "-SB"
   
   
strFolderPath = strSource & "\" & strFolderName


Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


objFSO.CopyFolder strFolderPath, strDest & "\" & strFolderName, True


WScript.Echo strFolderPath & " copied to " & strDest & "\" & strFolderName

You probably need quotes around the paths:

strFolderPath = Chr(34) & strSource & "\" & strFolderName & Chr(34)

/gustav

I think you misunderstood.  The script I posted works fine.  I need a new one

Oh, then you use the CopyFile method:

    objFSO.CopyFile SourcePath, DestinationPath

where both parameters are the full path/file names, for you like: \\server\folder\filename

/gustav

Below is the script I'm trying to get to work.  Would you please modify it for me?  

Option Explicit
Dim strSource, strDest, strFolderName, strFolderPath
Dim objFSO

strSource = "\\client\c$\pawpalace"
strDest = "\\databases\access2015\pawpalace"

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


objFSO.CopyFolder strFolderPath, strDest & "\" & strFolderName, True


WScript.Echo strFolderPath & " copied to " & strDest & "\" & strFolderName

I get this

It could be:

Option Explicit
Dim strSource, strDest, strFolderName, strFolderPath
Dim objFSO

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strSource = "\\client\c$\pawpalace"
strDest = "\\databases\access2015\pawpalace"
strFile = "YourFile.png"

objFSO.CopyFile strSource & "\" & strFile,  strDest & "\"

WScript.Echo strSource & "\" & strFile & " copied to " & strDest & "\"

Select allOpen in new window

/gustav

got this

Seems right.
Include strFile in the Dim line. And remove strFolderName, strFolderPath.

/gustav

That worked.   How do I have it copy two files?   My test is currently only one.  see working script

Option Explicit
Dim strSource, strDest, strFile
Dim objFSO

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strSource = "\\client\c$\pawpalace"
strDest = "\\databases\access2015\pawpalacebackup"
strFile = "pp.mdb"

objFSO.CopyFile strSource & "\" & strFile,  strDest & "\"

WScript.Echo strSource & "\" & strFile & " copied to " & strDest & "\"

Perfect.  Thanks very much for doing this.

You are welcome!

/gustav

Can a message be added that tells them when it is complete?

Yes, append this line:

    MsgBox "Two files copied.", 64, "File Copy"

/gustav

Worked.

Thanks again

Have a nice weekend!
