Copy files to local system from shared drive on network

[Legacy User]

Hi,

I am trying run a batch file which copies file from local machine to our shared drive but getting below error message,
"The system cannot find the drive specified"

Here is my batch script where z is the shared drive,
copy E:\Test\Test1.txt z:\Test1_%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%.txt
Also this is working fine when I run it through command prompt.

Is there a way to copy file to shared drive?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Himanshu,

If you are copying the file to the share, you will need to use the UNC path of it.

For example I did something like this:

copy C:\temp\TEST1abc.txt \\vwafs01\COMMON\lul\test_%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%.txt"

On my machine I have a share drive with a path of: H:\lul
But the UNC path for it is:  \\vwafs01\COMMON\lul

Hi Luu,

It worked with UNC path when I used it with quotes "\\UNC path"

Thanks so much!!! :)
