Hey, I have two computers set up in my office. One computer has downloaded files on it, but I work with the other one. The one that gets files is windows ME while the one I am using now is XP SP2. I have used the script:

Code:
Loop, C:\Downloads\*.*,1,
{
   ifNotExist, \\Marcus\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%
   {
      dir = %A_LoopFileName%
      done = true
      Loop, C:\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%\*.!ut,,1
      {
         MsgBox "%dir%" is not finished downloading.
         done = false
         break
      }
      if done = true
      {
         MsgBox, Moving "%A_LoopFileName%" to \\Marcus\Downloads
         RunAs, admin, admin
         FileCopyDir C:\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%, \\Marcus\Downloads\
         RunAs
      }
   }
}


From the ME computer and admin/admin is my username/password on the XP SP2 computer. The script will tell me that a folder is being moved to the XP computer, but the move progress dialog never appears, nor do any files appear in the C:\Downloads folder on the XP machine. Anything ideas?

RunAs Docs wrote:

RunAs
Specifies a set of user credentials to use for all subsequent uses of Run and RunWait. Requires Windows 2000/XP or later.


try running the script from the XP computer and moving files the other way.

BTW, the FileCopyDir command won't open a progress dialog. It copies in the background.

is the XP folder shared so that any user can edit the files?

Yes, the folder is shared freely to anyone on the network. I guess I didn't see the OS requirement when I read the help files...

However, I originally started coding the script from the XP computer's perspective, and wound up with the same thing. Here is that script:

Code:
Loop, \\Downloader\Downloads\*.*,1,
{
   ifNotExist, C:\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%
   {
      dir = %A_LoopFileName%
      done = true
      Loop, \\Downloader\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%\*.!ut,,1
      {
         MsgBox Torrent "%dir%" is not finished downloading.
         done = false
         break
      }
      if done = true
      {
         MsgBox, Moving "%A_LoopFileName%" to C:\Downloads
         RunAs, guest, guest ; My problme is here
         FileCopyDir \\Downloader\Downloads\%A_LoopFileName%, C:\Downloads\
         RunAs
      }
   }
}


My problem would have to be the RunAs... I'm not familiar with windows ME anymore, but I have 2 accounts on the pc, Guest///guest and admin///admin... I also have to set a password on the downloads folder (on the ME pc) to enable "Full" access to the folder (the ability to change/move files). The password for this was left blank. I have tried Guest///guest, admin///admin, Guest///*blank*, and admin///*blank* and all have resulted in the same thing (when ran from the XP pc): It says that it's moving them, but no files ever appear.

Also, can you FORCE the move dialog open when using FileCopyDir?

i don't think you can force the copy window to show up.

can you try mapping the network share to a drive letter? then you don't have the \\computer\share\files syntax.
