Move script

[siulong2002]

Can anyone tell me if the MOVE command has been changed in windows 2000.

I'm trying to write a script that moves the files from on file server to another and i can't seem to get it to work.

Am i being completely thick.

I thought the command would be

move \\servername\d$\test \\servername\test

Is this correct??

Thanks for your help.

I just did some testing and it appears that MOVE is still using 8.3 format for pathways.


example:

MOVE \\Old Server\This Directory\File to Move.doc \\New Server\This Directory

(in 8.3 format it translates to

MOVE \\oldser~1\thisdi~1\fileto~1.doc \\newser~1\thisdi~1


If you keep in mind that it still uses 8.3 directory and path names then your script(s) will work.

Have a nice day.

If you go to

http://www.robvanderwoude.com/,

and look for the allhelp.bat link, it will download a 2k zip file which when expanded and run, produces a htm file of all your available command line command help files, including move.

Shouldn't you reference the files you want to move?
move \\servername\d$\test\*.* \\servername\testAssuming you have full permissions on the paths on both servers.

We have 2 win2k servers (one in each building), I had no problems with direct naming of the directories. I believe ASP takes care of this.
