How actually FileCopy() works ?

[friends]

Well... I've tested the FileCopy() function... I'm not sure if it is

working under restricted account in Windows 2000.

My idea is like that....

I do a mapped-drive (to other PC) using DriveMapAdd() function.

Afterwards, I wanted to copy files from mapped-drive to current

PC's C:\Program Files\test location.

Assume mapped-drive is X:

So, the syntax looks something like this :

FileCopy ("X:\*.bin", "C:\Program Files\test", 1)

However, I tested it in Windows 2000 (Restricted User) account,

it seems to be not working at all.

What had gone wrong with it ?

Please help. Thanks in advance

What does this return? Does it say it is working?

Is the file that you are trying to copy already in that directory? If so, then it will be copying it, but it will just be copying over the original file, and therefore not "show" anything.

I know the below coding has many problems. This is what I wanted to do :

First of all, there are 2 PCs, one is PC1 (Restricted User) and another is

PC2, both are running LAN environment (Workgroup only).

I want to perform a map-drive from PC1 to a PC2, then check only the

latest modified date I want to copy. If the file does not exist in PC1, then

copy it over. That's all.....

Please help me to correct the coding below... I know it is very bad

RunAsSet("Administrator", @Computername, "erots")

   DriveMapAdd ("X:", "\\192.168.24.21\update")
   $path = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Grisoft\AVG6\UPDATE"
   $temp = FileGetTime ("C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG6\UPDATE\*.bin", 0)

   $search = FileFindFirstFile ("X:\*.bin")
             
   $val = FileCopy ("X:\Files.txt", "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG6\UPDATE\", 1)

   WHILE 1 
        $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
        MsgBox (4096, "File :", $file)

        IF NOT @ERROR THEN
           $t = FileGetTime($file)

           IF NOT @ERROR THEN
              $mddyyy = $t[1] & "/" & $t[2] & "/" & $t[0]
              MsgBox (0, "Modified Date :", $mddyyyy)
           ENDIF     
        ENDIF
   WEND

   FileClose ($search)

   DriveMapDel ("X:")

RunAsSet()
