Is there any sample so that I can use AT command to copy files from one
NT machine to another NT machine at night?

Should be quite straightforward - just create a batch file with the copy
command in it (copy c:\xyz\abc.txt \\server\share\abc.txt) and schedule it.

The catch is you need to ensure that the schedule service is running under
an account with network access (and permissions to use the files you are
copying). Be default it uses LocalSystem which will not have network access,
so you need to change to another account.

Cheers,

Andy

write a batch program. Then use the AT command to run the batch.

By default, the scheduler runs under the Local System Account and has no network
access.

Create a new user account that is a member of the Domain Admin group.
Give it a non-blank, non-expiring password.
Use Control Panel / Services / Schedule and stop it. Change the startup to use
this new account. Start the scheduler.

See tip 243 at my NT Tips, Tricks and Registry Hacks at
http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm for debugging scheduled jobs.
