I want to copy these files to another remote directory but receiving the error: "The target file "\Z02RSIDMC02SectionBondsG 269 PROCESSFOCUSED BOND REVIEWUploaded Documents est" is a directory, not a file.
I'm that familiar with using .CopyTo and haven't got very far with it.

I want to include a function in my program that involves my copying files from my cd drive D:/ to my hard drive C:/. The code I'm using is below but it isn't working. The first one came up with an error, and the second one didn't come up with an error but didn't copy the files.
vb.net
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(foundFile, destPath & foundFile, True)

Dim destPath As String
srcPath = ComboBox1.Text & "Web Browser"
destPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles)

The combo box allows the user to select which drive the cd is in, incase you were wondering.

View 8 RepliesI'm not really sure where to begin for this. I'd like to scan a specified server directory for all files that it contains in the directory. (I will then compare the sizes to files already existing on the user's machine, but that I've got covered.)
If there's any way I could get around using FTP, I'd be very grateful, as this won't be entirely secure.
I did some exploring of the WebClient and WebRequest classes, but failed to conceive of a way to do this.
copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.Example:
Source path: C: emp est1.txt
destination path: C:Data
if C:Data doesn't contains "temp" or "test" folder, it should create the folder before copy the 1.txt.[code]....

View 2 RepliesI am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

View 1 RepliesI am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.
THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network
I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)
So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.
Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed
I have been creating a program that copies and moves files from folder to folder; I am using this sort of code;
fileToCopy.CopyTo("path here...")
or
FileToMove.MoveTo("path here...")
My problem is, when I am copying or moving a large file, It's taking so much time and my program is hanging until all the files are completely moved or copied. How about, using a progressbar instead, so that the user will be able to see the progress of copying and moving instead of the program freezing?
i have been searching Google for weeks now looking for help on a project, i'm not in school college etc, i am a network admin in a secondary school. Basically i was sick of teachers/pupils losing their pen drives and complaining to us that their work is missing, i set out to create a program to ease the backing up process to ensure this happened less often. i did manage to create a program using 'Get current directory' & 'Copy directory' and it works fine but not to the standard i want. Here is a clip of my current program, pretty neat for a beginner i think.I want the .EXE to sit on the pendrive and extract everything to a backup folder when it's run.Because (h:/) or whatever the letter, is a DRIVE, copy directory method wont work.

Code:

I have three data files that I include with my project. They are all set to Build Action Content and Copy to Output Copy Always. I have a preferences form that allows the user to copy these files to a folder of their choosing. It works fine in the IDE. However, when deployed one file will copy but the next returns an error the the file cannot be found. In the following code block a deployed application will copy ABW11Data.sdf but cannot find 100610_40.dtb or 2118@005.dtb. They are in the deployment files and I can search and find them in the clickonce installation although they are not in the same place as the ABW11data.sdf.
If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed = False Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "ABW11Data.sdf", TextBoxFolder.Text, True)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "100610_40.dtb", .SelectedPath + "100610_40.dtb", True)

I would like to transfer files from an FTP site to my folder on C drive. For instance, I have an FTP site 169.69.20.100. If I go thru my IE I can see the lsit of files in here. I can simply click on it and IE will ask me if I want to open it or Save it. I want to automatically download them into my folder on my HDD. can this be done thru VB.Net?
