I'm trying to use the copyfile comm

[DaveNamou]

I'm trying to use the copyfile command as shown below.
- I keep getting an "Access Denied" Error.
- I'm not logged on as Administrator but I do have Admin rights to the box.
- The inputbox always me to cut and paste the exact command that the script would use into a command prompt. I run the output form the input box into a command prompt and it works fine.

==============SCRIPT====================
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

strCopySource = "\\SERVER01\Drivers$\Temp\test.txt"
strCopyDest = "\\SERVER02\O$\winnt\profiles\Administrator\Windows"

'inputbox "test","test", "Copy " & strCopySource & " " & strCopyDest

fso.CopyFile strCopySource, strCopyDest
===================End File============

Can anyone give me some ideas as to why this isn't working? Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA

Dave,

I don't think you can start your paths with "\\..." they need a drive letter "C:\..."

To copy acrosss servers you will have to set up a shared directory.

Actually, the FSO does support UNC pathes. So if share & file permissions are configured correctly, you should have no problem.

You state you have Admin rights on the box, but there appears to be two servers at play here - Server01 and Server02. Can you perform the copy/paste operation thru Windows Explorer? Jon Hawkins

Sorry, I didn't previously comprehend your third bullet.

The reason it fails is because it's attempting to create a file named windows in the Administrator folder and I'm presuming there is already a subfolder named Windows.

Try

strCopyDest = "\\SERVER02\O$\winnt\profiles\Administrator\Windows\" Jon Hawkins
