Hi,

My work is trying to run a batch file and is having problems getting it to work properly.

It is supposed to go to the D:\ drive - then to the fkormos\files\ directory.

Once there, it should copy all the files in fkormos\files into all the directories in the 5 commands below.

It should then delete all the files in the original directory and close.

Attached is a screen shot of what it does.

This batch file is stored in fkormos\files and a user logs in VIA ftp, then uploads the files to that directory, then runs the batch file. We are testing it on a machine where the user has full privileges on everything.

The drives X and F are networked drives.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Alan


d:
cd\fkormos\files
xcopy d:\fkormos\files\*.* d:\fkormos\files\bk\
xcopy d:\fkormos\files\*.* x:\bk\faye\
xcopy d:\fkormos\files\*.* x:\files\
xcopy d:\fkormos\files\*.* d:\archive\
xcopy d:\fkormos\files\*.* f:\Backup\
echo Y | del d:\fkormos\files\
exit

Let's see:

You have no space between the cd and the \fkormos\files in this command: d\fkormos\files

Both the X: and F: drives appear to not be recognized, so there's something wrong with the mapping, or those folders don't exist on the target drives. See the invalid drive specification errors for any copy to those drives.

There are no files in the folder d:\fkormos\files\, so nothing is copied.

thanks - i didn't even notice that...

the drives are all mapped.

Are the directory paths case sensitive?

hi - just wanted to let you know I got it running locally but it wont run when I log in VIA ftp...

just to take a stab at it, here is a screen shot of serv-u and the mapping properties (image removed). I think it has to do with the fact that the x:\files is being mapped as files...

what do you think? How could it be run if serv-u sees X:\Files\ as Files

[trippnwo]

i figured it out

I had to define a command in the FTP client in order to run it.

site exec /username/username.bat

works like a champ now -

thanks for the help.

Hi. James here from Philippines. is there anyone can help me with xcopy command in DOS Batch File. Actually, i can successfully copy files from one drive to another drive..
My command is here
xcopy c:\test d:\test /e /i /y /d

My question now is, is there a way that i can have a log file that will give me informations that the files were copied with date and time specified?
i have tested

xcopy c:\test d:\test /e /i /y /d > log.txt

but it only gives me info that the files were copied and no specified date and time.


your help is very much appreciated.

It's best to start a new thread rather than adding onto an old one, especially if it's marked solved. I almost didn't look at this.

Anyways, just echo the date and time to the file first. Also helps to add a seperator if you are going to be reusing the log.txt file. Note the doubled greater than symbols (>>), this will append to the log.txt file, rather than creating a new one:

Echo. >>log.txt
echo.---------------------------------- >>log.txt
echo %date% %time% >>log.txt
echo.---------------------------------- >>log.txt
Echo. >>log.txt
xcopy c:\test d:\test /e /i /y /d >> log.txt

Running the batch twice in a row results in this:

---------------------------------- 
Thu 05/22/2008 13:23:56.53 
---------------------------------- 
 
C:\test\big 1.txt
C:\test\modtst.cmd
C:\test\ptst.cmd
C:\test\times.txt
C:\test\times2.txt
C:\test\tst.cmd
6 File(s) copied
