Batch file to copy files from one folder to another folder

Question

I have a storage folder on a network in which all users will store their active data on a server. Now that server is going to be replaced by a new one due to place problem s

Answer 1

if you want to copy file not using absolute path, relative path in other words:

don't forget to write backslash in the path AND NOT slash

example :

    copy children-folder\file.something .\other-children-folder

PS: absolute path can be retrieved using these wildcards called "batch parameters"

    @echo off
    echo %%~dp0 is "%~dp0"
    echo %%0 is "%0"
    echo %%~dpnx0 is "%~dpnx0"
    echo %%~f1 is "%~f1"
    echo %%~dp0%%~1 is "%~dp0%~1"
