Hi,

How to copy folders/files from My Network Places from the shortcut of a web
folder
Ex:

I created a shortcut to a web folder and the following copy bat file does
not work.
Copy \\Web\Docs\Project Test\Test.xls D:\Web Data\Test.xls

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I tried it - but it still did not work.

Try this:

xcopy /y "\\Web\Docs\Project Test\Test.xls" "D:\Web Data\"

My crystal ball has gone a little cloudy and I'm waiting for
a new polishing cloth to be delivered. In the meantime I have
to rely on posters providing a reasonable amount of information
in their posts. "It still did not work" tells me absolutely
nothing. How about posting your line of code, exactly as
it is in your batch file? And the error message you get?

When I tried to execute the batch file from the Windows Explorer - MS-DOS
window would just come up but the file was not copied.

I tried to run the batch file from command file and I am getting:
Invalid drive specification

I changed the batch file as you suggested.
xcopy /y "\\Web\Docs\Project Test\Test.xls" "D:\Web Data\"
