Moving files from my work server to my work computer

07 Mar 2017, 15:32

Code: Select all


FileMove, D:\CADD FILES COMPUTER, I:\CAD DRAWINGS, 1

This works just fine, I can move stuff off my computer onto the server. But the second I try to read anything on the server can't do it.

Code: Select all


Filemove, ‪I:\Test, D:\CADD FILES COMPUTER, 1

This dose not.

I have been messing around with trying to make this works.

I have tried \\server\username\I:\Test but that hasn't worked, any ideas?

thanks in advance

Write only permissions ? Is that even a thing ?
Does it work when you try moving files with Windows File Explorer ?
Have you tried running script as admin ? ( I don't think that would change a thing since you're able to write but ... )
Unless its because you cant write to D:\CADD FILES COMPUTER ??

From what I can tell I have read and write permissions. Messed around and made this work.

Code: Select all



Filemove, ‪\\epsi\plats\Test, D:\CADD FILES COMPUTER, 1

Now the next step, any idea why this path wouldn't work with FileGetTime?

Code: Select all


FileGetTime, OutPutVar, \\epsi\plats\Test

dosen't work, I'll start a different topic and start digging but would like your input.

I mean, 'doesn't work' is kinda vague. You could at least show the OutputVar value or an error message.
But yeah, you don't even specify a Filename ( you only state the path ) ... of course it doesn't work as intended.
FileGetTime, OutputVar [, Filename, WhichTime]

Sorry I rushed thru that last post.

Code: Select all


FileGetTime, OutputVar , D:\CADD FILES COMPUTER\123456.DWG
Msgbox %OutputVar% 

This works and returns the message box with the time/date.

Now taking from my last post I tried to replicate the same path thing that worked for FileMove.

Code: Select all


FileGetTime, OutputVar , \\epsi\plats\CADD FILES\123456.DWG
Msgbox %OutputVar% 

This one returns with an empty message box.

That clear? Sorry little new to this, seemed easy till i tried to these commands over the server.

Thanks for the help!

I should also note i tried to do this with the network drive letter and it still gave me a blank message box.
