Hi all, I am searching for an easy way to to copy a file from one windows server to a different server or to an desktop by using command prompt......... Can any one help me out...........

Errr, how about copy? net use z: \\server\share net use y: \\otherserver\share copy z:\somefile.someext y: /v If you have requirements, please feel free to write them down here.MCP

Xcopy is the command I'd recommend if your looking to move large files or entire directory trees. It's very efficient and provides extra functionality to configure exactly how you want the copy to react with the option to generate very verbose logs. Any requirements you have will likely be met using this command. Hope this informations is helpful.
