I have written this batch file to perform the synchronization every night. The transfer from the ftp server (mapped as drive Z:\) works great, but when I try to upload from robocopy switches the lab computer (C:\) to the ftp server (Z:\) I get the error that a directory cannot be created. The "Backpack Alarm" Folder has a few files located in it, and several folders I also want to sync (hence the /s argument).

NCwillTopic StarterRookie Problem with XCOPY « on: May 20, 2008, 04:54:22 PM » I am trying to create a batch procedure that will copy file creation a group of files from a flash drive into a temp directory on my hard drive, and then have the ability to copy those files onto multiple other flash drives (one at a time).
