Powershell Script

Gabi1986 1

Hello Everyone,

I'm a beginner Powershell user. Could anyone help me to finish this script? I'd like to copy new files from "$a" to "$b"... automatically of course. How should I move on?
Thanks a lot.

Define what you mean by "new".

Do you mean files in $a that are not in $b regardless of their creation date? What about file that exist in $a and $b -- should the file in $a replace the file in $b? If so, should the comparison be made on the creation date or the modification date, or simply the presence of the file in $a?

Maybe this is helpful. (For any reason I can't post this as code ... getting an "Access denied" everytime)

That "Access Denied" is probably because your answer exceeded the limit on the number of characters allowed. You can attach the script to your answer, though.

With Powershell you can do everything, but robocopy.exe is insuperable for copying, synking also deleting!
This is the code, remove /L when you are sure...
/L : List only - don’t copy, timestamp or delete any files.

$Afolder = 'c:\user\Gab\desktop\A'  
$Bfolder =  'c:\user\Gab\desktop\B'  
  
  
  
Invoke-Command { robocopy.exe $afolder $Bfolder /L /s /w:0 /r:0 }

robocopy

robocopy.html
