Copying file to a folder

[bcoates]

I have a file that i am copying from a mapped drive to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

when i run the script i get a permission denied error even if i am the admin. I think think it is something to do with the spaces but dont know how to fix it.

 

[PHV]

when i run the script
Which script ?
Which line of code raises the error ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

its vb script below:
Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork
Dim FSO
Dim strDriveLetter, strRemotePath
strDriveLetter = "J:"
strRemotePath = "\\server\folder"


Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath


Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

FSO.CopyFile "J:\DateCheck.vbs", "C:\Documents and Settings\bcoates2783\Desktop", TRUE

im getting the error on the last line

to reduce complexity,,,you dont need to map a drive in order to use the CopyFile method.

try a
If FSO.FileExists(strFile2Copy) before the copy job

try this

FSO.CopyFile "\\servername\share\DateCheck.vbs", "C:\Documents and Settings\bcoates2783\Desktop\", True

or

FSO.CopyFile "\\servername\share\DateCheck.vbs", "C:\Documents and Settings\bcoates2783\Desktop\datecheck.vbs", true

and/or before the copy

If FSO.FolderExists(C:\Documents and Settings\bcoates2783\Desktop)

you might also want to consider using WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings on %userprofile%?? or something like that

FSO.CopyFile "J:\DateCheck.vbs", "C:\Documents and Settings\bcoates2783\Desktop[!]\[/!]", TRUE
