Moving Files from Network Folder Using VBScript

This sounds like you need to create a Windows Service. A windows service will run even when you are not logged in. Of course to do that, you would have to have Admin privileges and the VBScript would have to be in C# or VB.

The following code (in C#) can be used to create a windows service to move files every 10 seconds and rename files if the file being moved already exists in the destination folder.

        private string fileTime;
        private string[] theCommands = new string[2];
        private EventLog eventLog1 = new EventLog();
        private FileStream fs;

        public Service2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //This is a timer where code can run once the timer is up.
            ti.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(ti_Elapsed);
            //This sets the 10 second interval.  Every 1000 is one second.
            ti.Interval = 10000;
            ti.Enabled = true;

            //The text file contains the source and destination

            fs = File.OpenRead("C:\\Path\\to\\text\\file");

            sr.ReadLine();//This ignores the [Source Folder] line.
            theCommands[0] = sr.ReadLine();
            sr.ReadLine();//This ignores the blank line.

            eventLog1.WriteEntry("Cron Backup service stopped.");
        }
    }
}

The text file can contain a UNC Path (i.e. \\servername\somefolder) and should work as long as the Local System account has access to that folder.

Example of Text file:

[Source Folder]<br />
\\ServerName\some_Folder<br />
<br />
[Destination Folder]<br />
C:\Some_Folder<br />

If people have enough interest in this, I can expound on the subject.
