Simple del copy/ren and move bat

[thmpr52]

Trying to setup a scheduled task to run this bat file that basically does the following:

del \\server name\share\file.xml
copy e:\folder\*.xml \\server name\share\file.xml
move e:\folder\*.xml e:\folder\backup

seems simple but apparently my inaccurate use of commands prevents this from working

If you have long filename and foldernames with spaces etc then you will need the quoted lines below.
Other than that it looks ok: you can remove the 'if exist filename ' portions if the files will always be there, but they won't hurt it if you leave them in.

Be aware that a scheduled task uses the system account by default and may not have permissions to access network resources.


if exist "e:\folder\*.xml" (
if exist "\\server name\share\file.xml" del "\\server name\share\file.xml"
copy "e:\folder\*.xml" "\\server name\share\file.xml"
move "e:\folder\*.xml" "e:\folder\backup"
)
