Scheduling a file copy in a LAN

[mourikise]

Hi,

I know this question sounds silly... but, how can I schedule a file copy under an NT LAN? Something like

at 13:00 /interactive /every:Monday cmd /c copy \\server\public\file.dat c:\sched

should work, but it doesn't! I also tried to do it using ftp server (?!) and scheduling an ftp command to get the file, but I can access my ftp server only through proxy; and ftp doesn't support proxies.

So, anything of the below should suit my needs:

copy the file through my LAN

or

schedule an ftp client (command line + freeware!) which supports proxy connections

Any ideas welcome. Thanks!

First this is to make sure the scheduler service is running... Then I would make a batch file to do the actual copy work and have the at command call the batch file

something like at 13:00 /interactive /every:m cmd /c "c:\copy.bat"

The quotes are important!!
