running an Autioit script from a remote system

[ameen]

Hi,

I have an Auotit script being created in a system with IP 10.10.5.3 and I have Mapped another system with IP 10.10.6.3 to do some actions in it by Auotoit.

Now I am running this Auotit script using an iTest tool. From a remote sytem I am logging into the system containing auotoit script(10.10.5.3) from where I am exectuing the script whose functionality is to MAP a shared folder from 10.10.6.3 and to open a folder with multiple files and copy it to the local drive of the machine containing the autoit script(10.10.5.3).And then I am deleting the copied files from the local Drive.

My issue is that the Autoit script is invoked however the execution is not getting completed. So in my iTest tool i am able to see that the execution is timed out.

But when I directly run the same script in the local machine containing the autoit script it is getting started and gets completed with in 5 seconds. Why this issue is happening? Kinldy help me out in this issue.....

I have attached the code along with this mail. kindly revert me with a solution.

This is the autoit script performing the above said functioanlity....

Send("#r",@SW_HIDE)

WinWait("Run","Type the name of a p")

You know there is a special function to map network shares to drives?

From helpfile:

Function Reference -> File, Directory and Disk Management -> DriveMapAdd

DriveMapAdd ( "device", "remote share" [, flags [, "user" [, "password"]]] )

And if your smart then you dump all that Send stuff and use native commands. The send functions probably won't work in a different language or OS.

Something like the following:

First map a drive using the above function.

Then search for all files in the mapped drive.

For every file found, copy it and then delete.

DriveMapAdd ( "device", "remote share" [, flags [, "user" [, "password"]]] ) ; Fill in all nessesary data!!

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory.
$search = FileFindFirstFile("*.*")  

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    
    FileCopy($file, $destination)
    ; FileDelete($file) ; Use this with care!! This function Deletes all found files. Test the script first with dummy files!!
    ; MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
