Scheduled task to copy a file across a lan does not work

[Bob S]

I have a scheduled task to copy some files from one computer on my home LAN
to another computer on my home LAN. Whenever it comes time to run it, all I
see is a blink (of a dos window for 1/2 a second), with no visible change
taking place. The task to be run is a simple bat file (only 5 lines).
Could someone help me with this?

Thank you.

Do you have a password set to that scheduled task? Does the account that
calls the task has proper rights to access remote host?

Places people miss the boat on this are

Incorrect batch file statment syntax
Incorrect permissions for the task
Incorrect mapping to the remote computer

For more assistance try the folks in the CMD newsgroup.

Bob, thanks for these tips. Thanks also for the lead to the CMD newsgroup.
Would that be the following?

microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin ?
It was the only one I found with CMD in it.

Thanks again.
