how to copy a file from the local hard disk to a mapped server

68 New Member
Hi,
I have mapped a server to my computer (called it H drive). all my perl scripts run on the server.
Now, i would like to copy a file from my local hard disk (C drive) to this server.

As my scripts are running on the server, so while copying the file, the server is not able to recognize the location of the C drive (which is my local computer)

So, how do I make the server recognize my local computer and hence copy the file to the server.


Thank You,


Ravi

I assume that when you say "running on the server", that they are running through the scheduler and not running them from the command line on your local computer. If that is the case, then to the script(s), your files on your local computer are remote. You cannot simply copy them from your computer to the server via the scripts on the server because the server knows nothing of the mount that you have created. Its not an open, bi-directional transfer pipe.

To do this, you will have to write a script that connects to your local computer somehow and pulls the files from it, remotely.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi, I have(had) an old Win2k Server server with about 30 web site databases (SQL 2000) that just went under due to hardware problems. Thankfully, I have backups of all the databases plus the MDF and LDF files from the hard drive. I want to move all of these sites and their data to a newer server (Win2003) running SQL2000.

Hi I am trying to develop a Windows service in VB.NET which has timer enabled and keeps checking a folder (or group of folders) for any new file or changed files.

So far I have been successful in developing and deploying the service which works on my local machine with two drives...

Using .NET 2.0 is it more efficient to copy files to a single folder versus spreading them across multiple folders. For instance if we have 100,000 files to be copied, Do we copy all of them to a single folder called 'All Files' Do we spread them out and copy them to multiple folders like Folder 000 - Copy files from 0 to 1000 Folder 001 - Copy files from 1000 to 2000 Folder 002 - Copy files from 2000 to 2999
