  Hi,

  • So you have two computers, A and B.
    
  • A gets the downloads and they are in C:\SourceFolder
    
  • The name of computer A is CompA and the name of the share for C:\SourceFolder is "SourceFolder".
    
  • You want to move them to computer B in C:\DestinationFolder
    
  • If the folder names will always be the same then you can use the move command directly from the scheduled task. You set this up on computer B.
    
    

  1. Open Task Scheduler
  2. Under Action, Create basic Task
  3. Name: Move Files
     Description: Move files overnight from Computer A to Computer B
  4. Click Next
  5. Select Daily
  6. Click Next
  7. Set date and time
  8. Click Next
  9. Select Start a program
  10. Click Next
  11. In Program/Script box, enter: cmd
  12. In the Arguments box, enter: robocopy C:\SourceFolder D:\DestinationFolder ABC.txt /XO
  13. Click Next
  14. Check the results then click Finish

  
  

  RoboCopy will only copy newer files. Files of the same age will be skipped.
  
  

  Hope this helps!

  Kind regards,
  Leon
