Question

can someone help me with a dos script to move all files from one location to another location

Answer 1

move <sourcepath>\*.* <destpath>

IE, if you wanted to move all files from c:\test\ to c:\test2

move c:\test\*.* c:\test2

if you want to suppress the prompt to overwrite files

move /Y c:\test\*.* c:\test2

If you want to move from the current directory, you can specify just the *.*. Also you can do relative paths. So if you want to move the current directory’s files up one directory, you’d do

move *.* ..

.. being the shortcut for “up one directory”

If it’s across the network, you can use a UNC path to authenticate as the user you’re logged in as or map a drive (using the NET USE command) to specify a username/password on the remote computer, then copy using that drive letter. You can then delete the drive letter after you’re done. UNC paths look like \\computer\share\folder\file.txt
