I need to copy a large number of files that are stored in a single parent location but in their own folders to a single folder on another server (permissions are no issue). We have a CAD drawing register On a Spreadsheet and all the drawing folders are in a single parent location but in their own folders depending upon their design. Example, the parent folder is \\server\groupdata\shared\drawingregister and the files are in a folder, 0001 and the file is 0001.dwg. We are moving this to a cloud solution with a database backend and need to migrate the files to this server.
I have used - for /f %I in (images.txt) do Robocopy “Location” “Destination” %I - before with a list of images being listed in the text file and this works fine if all the images are stored in the same folder, but I cant get it to work in this manner. I have tried to modify the text file so each line has \0001\0001.dwg but nothig is copying. Is it possible to use robocopy like this or will I need to use an application to do this?
