Question

How can I copy network files using Robocopy?

Answer 1

I use the following format and works well.

robocopy \\SourceServer\Path \\TargetServer\Path filename.txt

to copy everything you can replace filename.txt with *.* and there are plenty of other switches to copy subfolders etc... see here: http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html

Answer 2

You should be able to use Windows "UNC" paths with robocopy. For example:

robocopy \\myServer\myFolder\myFile.txt \\myOtherServer\myOtherFolder

Robocopy has the ability to recover from certain types of network hiccups automatically.
