scheduled task to copy files fails (works from command line)

[raphael75]

We have a PHP script that copies files and folders from a Windows 2008 R2 computer to a Debian Linux webserver. The script works perfectly when run from the command line. However, when we try to run it as a scheduled task, it can't "see" any files or folders on the Windows computer.

I used get_current_user() and when run from CLI or Scheduled Task it returns the same user, so I don't think that's the issue.

Is there something special I need to configure in the scheduled task?

Thank you!

Typically a sched task that deals with copying files to remote drives doesn't work as planned, unless you actually provide a mapping to the remote drive and a proper user account that has permissions to the target folder. Modify your script to map the drive with the proper userid/password, then un-map when the copy has completed
