Hi all,

I am trying to copy the file between two computers on network. i am using following command prompt or command to copy. when i run this command i can see the file is getting copied but soon the job or process is done the file disappears from the destination folder as well.

copy \\computer\folder\file.txt G:\Backups\ /y

thanks
 
Most likely you don't have ownership of where you are copying those files to. However, have you tried to just copy and paste from one to the other?
 
yes. and i get the following error
Error 0x80070057 : the parameter is incorrect. the os is Windows 2008 R2
 
Shouldn't that be xcopy instead of just copy? I've used the xcopy command when replacing infected system files.
 
xcopy is one of interest. in dos then xcopy/? for flags.
/s/e/v/w in used for years
s was for subs
e even if empty
v verify
w wait (when i say go) does it all with xcopy.
