Question : Scheduled Task will not copy files across Home LAN

I use XP Pro and have a scheduled task to copy some files from one computer on my home LAN to another computer on my home LAN.  Whenever I run the task, all I
see is a blink (of a dos window for 1/4 second), with no files copied to the other computer.  The task to be run is a simple bat file (only 5 lines).
Could someone help me with this?

Thank you.

Answer : Scheduled Task will not copy files across Home LAN

Open a command window and execute the command from there. This will allow you to see the output from the batch which is likely to show you why the process is failing.

Alternatively in the batch file write the results of the commands to a log file.

eg. copy [sourcefile] [destination] >>logfile.txt

This will pipe the stdout (output) of the command to the file logfile.txt.
