Learn the steps to make a .bat script that runs every 10 minutes. It will verify if the file is updated and then move it to another spot on the C: drive. Use the C:\server folder and the IP.text file as examples.

The script primarily copies files without verifying their existence or integrity. It focuses on duplication rather than checking for existing files.

Create a batch file with the command line you specified. Set up a scheduled task to run it every ten minutes. Adjust path formatting if needed.

the batch script wasn't intended for that purpose, but verifying changes should be straightforward if you check the file's metadata for the last modified time. (you don't have to open the file itself, just focus on its metadata.) was the "IP.txt" example meant to guide this task? there might be more efficient approaches to handling what you're aiming for.

Welll, i guess you can put it that way. But first it should check if it was updated

you might opt for a fast approach and implement a loop with a 10-minute nap.

Also note that robocopy won't re-copy unless there was an update...

I recently discovered that .bat scripts can handle file movement, which means they might work similarly for copying updated files. If you have a more refined method for copying updated files, feel free to share.

You can verify its current position, as moving it would prevent it from being found in its original spot and trigger an error when attempting to access it.
