I have two systems: the first one is a domain member and other is the workgroup computer. Now I want to schedule copy command for copying one file on a daily basis from workgroup computer to domain member computer.

It is possible with a batch file?

Workgroup computer name: hisserver
User: administrator
Password: hisserver
Domain Member: hisbackup
User: administrator
Password: *healthbackup

System Configuration: Windows 2003 Internet Explorer 6.0

Hi,

No need to map the network, allow permission in the server backup directory for that domain user.

Thanks

Ok, what if I wanted to Sync files from a Windows PC using an FTP Network Connection that has been defined and works just fine.

I want to use that connection to SYNC to a remote server.

I'd like to create a batch file that I can add to my Task Scheduler.
