just want to copy a folder

[Ravenrx7]

Hello there,

bascially here it is, i just want to copy a shared folder from a server onto the user's desktop, sub directories and all. I've tried batch files using the XCOPY command and it's just not working, any suggestions?

Use My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(...) method to copy directories if you are using .NET 2.0.

The following example copies the directory TestDirectory_A into TestDirectory_B, overwriting existing files.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:\TestDirectory_A", "C:\TestDirectory_B", True)

Set the last argument to False, if you do not want to overwrite.

the folder is on the network, exmaple \\waps-dc1 to local profile\desktop

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(...) method should work properly on shared drives.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("\\waps-dc1\myFolder", "\\waps-dc2\myBackupFolder", True)
