Rookie question. I have 4 Win2K SP3 PC's that must do a
daily copy of files created each day up to a folder on the
WAN server. I cannot map drives back to the server. What
are the command line basics I need to set up in each PC's
scheduler to get the job done?

Thanks,

Chris V.
 
What OS is on the WAN Server?
How are you currently copying the files up?

Robocopy or xcopy on a schedule will do what you ask.
Robocopy is available off of the W2k resource kit. Schedule
a task using AT, WinAT (also off the W2KRK), or the task
scheduler and you're done.
 
at DOS command, type like this:
at \\computername 20:00 /every:monday,tuesday,friday "copy command goes
here"

For detailed information, type at /?
 
Also, you can schedual following command
net use x: \\servername\sharedfoldername
to map the drive before you copy files over.
