I've got a wireless home network (Netgear Super g router,
XP Pro box with Netgear g USB, Win 98 box with Linksys b
USB), and everthing seems to work great (printer sharing,
web access, file sharing, etc.) except, I am trying to
use XCOPY /e/y in a batch file to copy the entire
contents of the My Documents folder in the 98 box to the
XP box.
The batch file worked great under old network (ad hoc Win
98 to Win ME boxes).
It copies all the files in the root My Documents
directory, and the files in the root My Pictures
directory, but ends immediately after that - it skips all
the other subdirectories. Because it copies files and
creates one subdirectory the security stuff should not be
an issue.
I've gone so far as to put the batch file on the XP box
and map network drives. Current iteration is:
xcopy z:*.* y: /e/y
exit
(z: = My Documents on 98 box, y: = specific folder on XP
box).
I want to run the batch file every night to do a freebie
backup of picture and so on.
Any help would be appreciated.
