Grunt JS copy to network location

Question

I want to use grunt-contrib-copy (or any other grunt copying plugin) to copy files to network location.

Trying below:

    copy: {
        test: {
            


        

Answer 1

to copy files from mac to windows shared directory prepend the destination with smb:

copy: {
  test: {
    files: [
      { src: ['Scripts/*'], dest: ['smb://location/site/Scripts/'] }
    ]
  }
}

Answer 2

Yes, it's quite simple to do, just define your path with forward slashes:

copy: {
     test: {
         files: [
             { src: ['Scripts/*'], dest: ['//location/site/Scripts/'] }
         ]
     }
}

This will work on windows as-well, grunt will take care of that. Try it out.
