alej,
The FileSystemObject and or shell object can be used to do this client-side, but:
1) Only in IE, and
2) Only if running activeX objects is OK with your target audience.
If both of those are fine, then check out the FSO pages on the MSDN site:
Hope this helps!

Its me again. I got the function but now I have some troubles defining the path to a remote computer: 'path not found'. This is what I try:
fso.CopyFile ("c:\sample.txt","\\172.17.17.109\\c$\\MOA_Data\\",true);
Any syntax error? I also tried using drives but had no success. Thanxs!
cheers,
alej

You need to double up your '\' characters everywhere. Try this:
Code:
fso.CopyFile ("c:\\sample.txt","\\\\172.17.17.109\\c$\\MOA_Data\\",true);Also make sure the the destination path exists ;o)

Can you still see the share on the server? And can you copy files to it using explorer?

To copy a file from one directory to another, is it neccessary to include IP address, computer name etc. I ahve tried all over the net and am finding nothing. I need a simple script that will constantly run checking a folder for a file and if it is there copying it to two different destinations.

H\I keep getting the Active X pop-up requesting if I wish to run the ActiveX component. But as I want this to be automated I need something to stop this window from popping up. I have tried to disable all security, not a good idea, but it still happens. I have included the code below. Is there an easier way around this issue?

<head>File copy in progress...Don't close this page.</head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
//enter refresh time in "minutes:seconds" Minutes should range from 0 to inifinity. Seconds should range from 0 to 59
var limit="0:15"
if (document.images){
var parselimit=limit.split(":")
parselimit=parselimit[0]*60+parselimit[1]*1
}
function beginrefresh(){
if (!document.images)
return
if (parselimit==1)
window.location.reload()
else{
parselimit-=1
curmin=Math.floor(parselimit/60)
cursec=parselimit%60
if (curmin!=0)
curtime=curmin+" minutes and "+cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!"
else
curtime=cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!"
window.status=curtime
setTimeout("beginrefresh()",1000)
}
}
window.onload=beginrefresh

Waidesworld,
Imagine a website that copies a thousand viruses onto your computer when you view it, without any warning.......
Of course that box pops up every time that you try to copy something to the user's machine. You can't automate this process because it would be a hackers dream to copy something onto a user's machine that easily.

But basically I just want a script to run this locally. I thought a botch job like this could do the trick but alas my script writing skills lack and this was the best effort I had. Any help would be appreciated.
THis is never going to be a web page just a method of generating a script.

Aaah but it doesn't and this is my issue. I have "enabled" all the ActiveX components, and any ones that were on "prompt" are now "enable", but it is still cropping up. I can't add it as a trusted site as it won't accept the file location C:\....\fileshare.html because it is not starting with http or ftp.

I don't believe you can stop the prompts from happening.
Hope this helps,
