Copying files across 2 remote servers
Hi,
amongst all the daily activities I have, there 2 that really takes a lot of time because I have to do it manually :(
Case 1:
I have 1 executable file, "myApp.exe" that needs to be copied (and overwrite existing one) to a second server:
from \\SERVER1\anyFolder\myApp.
Issue:
I am trying to do it automatically via CMD script using "runas" command but it is not working transparently because it ask me for password, eache time It connects to a different server (14th servers).
"run.bat" file runs:
runas /netonly /user:AMERICAS\myUserName RemoteServer01.bat
"RemoteServer01.bat" file runs:
Case 2:
This one is done via RDP but I would like to do it via cmd if possible:
Thanks a lot!

This one is done via RDP but I would like to do it via cmd if possible:
First step, connect to \\SERVER1\d$\ProductFolder
Second step, using Windows "Right click / Compress to zipped folder" compress to zip "ProductFolder"
Third, rename resulting zip file adding (manually) current date as a prefix, example of resulting file: "2017-05-05-Oracle.zip"
Fourth step, Move the resulting zip file to \\SERVER1\e$\Backup folder
Second step, using Windows "Right click / Compress to zipped folder" compress to zip "ProductFolder"
Third, rename resulting zip file adding (manually) current date as a prefix, example of resulting file: "2017-05-05-Oracle.zip"
Fourth step, Move the resulting zip file to \\SERVER1\e$\Backup folder
Thanks a lot!

Case 1: Interesting, it makes sense. I'll try it ;)
Case 2: CMD would be excellent! But you must consider the following:
In the servers side I cannt install/copy anything alese. If the 3rd party tool you mention can be coied to my computer and from here run the CMD commands, that'll be very good option.

I've seen that Powersheel is something like CMD but how can I know/test if this supports what you're recommending?

Hi Jose, how do you mean? The test should very easy because all the program does is copy files/folders. That's all it does. If you like to execute a *.bat or *.exe you still need to call this program before or after the file copy. For example, you can call a batch file after the copy finish to ZIP the folder/file that was copied.

That should work. I presume your station and the servers are on same domain or workgroup?

@NVIT: Yes, same domain.
Jose,
Do you still need help with this?

Hi Jose, I am not understanding this statement because I didn't mention Powershell. Also, you mentioned that you wanted to run a batch file not powershell and the dirsync program I mentioned can run the batch file as required.

Best answer was @Wayne88 but @NVIT's answer also help me a lot.
Thanks Jose, glad to help. Cheers!
If 3rd party is not an option for you, you can use powershell, assuming you have versions 3 or 4 with Net 4.5 (or greater). Or powershell 5, which has built-in zip commands.
On https://ss64.com/ps/zip.html, there is a powershell routine New-Zipfile that does this. I haven't tested this so can't confirm it.
