Automated File Transfer Help

kcanada254 · Aug 8, 2016

Hi guys I currently have a remote server running windows 7. As well as another computer (client) that collects data from a machine (files are about 10gb each)

what I would like to do is have these files automatically transferred to my server weather over the network or through a third part program once the file is finished generating.

so I was wondering if there is something out there that can do this for me. I don't really want scheduled transfers it would work best if the server can search for the files. or the client will send them off once theyre done.

thanks for the help!

This requested task is too mundane to have an app specifically written for it, but is perfect candidate for a Windows script. This maybe a perfect time to learn it.

Thanks for the reply. Im in a bit of a time crunch, i am unfamiliar with windows scripts but i do know a small amount of vb... not sure if that relates. but that aside, i dont want to have to run a file or script every time i want to sync the files to the server. Can i or is it possible to have the windows script to be constantly running?

Of course you can have a script running all the time, program it to wake up once in a while and check for things to do, then go back to sleep if nothing to do. Or you can have Windows scheduler to run it, say once every 30? minutes.

You may want to check your file generating app, some of them may have a "Do THIS when task ends" option.
