How To Copy Files Using Xp_cmdshell
Nov 18, 2007Howdy, hope someone can help me out with this.I want to run a job each night that copies files from one server to another.I cant even get a simple copy one file from one directory to another,statement to work.When I try :@cmd 'copy c: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt'master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmdI get the msg: 'c' is not recognised as an internal command, program orbatch file, Null.What I ideally want to do is pass xp_cmdshell variables for the 2 file'spath+names. I have tried numerous variations of single and double quoteswithout success, which is why I decided to work up form the simple 'copyc: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt', but can't even get that to work.Any advice much appreciated.

Jul 27, 2006I using MS SQLServer as a secure method of setting up system tasks andprocesses for automated running. The intent is that all logins (idsand passwords) are in a secure database table and are not sittingaround in batch files on the server.Some of the tasks make use of network authentication, and this is wherethe problem arises.If I execute the command line from within SQLServer (via xp_cmdshell),I get an error that says that the userid is missing. If I execute thatsame command vid the CMD window, it works.It appears that the shell that xp_cmdshell kicks off does not inheritthe domain authentication.Aside from questions on why I am doing things this way as opposed tousing the windows scheduler or other tools, what do I need to do tomake sure that my domain credentials are passed?

Detach-copy-attach: Can Not Copy Files - Getting Access Denied
Feb 28, 2008
Hi!
I did:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate;
exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got
>>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success.
I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.

Pakcage Error...How To Read Files On A Different Domain?
Mar 2, 2006So did some troubleshooting on the my previous post -http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=272319&SiteID=1
Thanks to everyone who tried to help... So I got some insight into what is happening.
My package was having trouble reading files on a remote domain although I mapped the drives locally. This does not cause either running the package to failed either through directly running under VSS, or Execution Utility. But it failed when I try to schedule it through SQL server agent.
I wonder if it is the security context problem and asking for help of how to get around that issue.
So I have a for each file loop container that retrieve filenames on a remote domain which has a different security account then my local account. So how I got around that was to map that drive locally to a drive letter...example W:
then I use W: as my path within my package. I was trying to figure out where I can declare the connection within my package specifically, but don't know if I could do that.
If I run this through VSS or exectuion utility, it works okay. I was able to see W: and all the files on that mapped drive and read in the data.
However, when I schedule it under SQL agent, it doesn't see any files then exited the package as success right the way, because it has nothing to do....
So is there a different between the security context on mapped drive between VSS and my SQL agent? If so...How do I get around that challenge?
BTW, the two domain do not have share accounts between each others. I had to specified and map the drives explicitly.
THANKS!

Copy Files From FTP
Feb 5, 2008
I have been looking for a way to copy only new flat files from an FTP server. I can find how to copy all of the files into another directory, but I only want to copy in files that are not already in my target directory.
So, is there a way to compare the files in the FTP directory to a list of files in a SQL table and use this to control the transfer, and how do I get those FTP file names into a SQL table? Or is there some other way?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Jan 11, 2008hi , I am trying to copy files dynamically from a remot folder by using File System task ,
the files are going to be generated daily with f1yyyy-mm-dd.txt
I created 3 file connections :
- Existing remote folder (RemotFolder) and set that to var v_remotefolder
- Existing destination folder (DestFolder)
- existing file (filename) and set the expression to var (string ) =v_fname
in the File System task I set the the
Destination connection = DestFolder
Operation =Copy file
Source = filename
expression >>Property (source) = @[User::v_remotefolder] + @[User::v_fname]
I know I need the date too ,but I 'm getting error on this step.
Can you please tell me if you know how to resolve this without using For each loop since I don't have control on the remote folder and I don't want to copy unneeded files (the files are 10 GB daily) and get delete it once every month.
-I know this not uncommon task but I can't find any example.

Aug 10, 1999I connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.
To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,
G:
Cd winnt
Cd system32
Cd config
Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt
Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt
Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :
C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat
When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date.
The output is,
1 file(s) copied
1 file(s) copied
But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.
Please let me know why this happens.
Thank you.

Copy Files Into Same Destination Directory
Mar 14, 2008
Hi,
How do I copy files from several subdirectories into the same directory? I have about 80 subdirectories of a parent directory from which I want to copy the files and place the copies into the same, flat destination directory. I tried using the copy file and copy directory file system tasks, but this always seems to recreate the subdirectory structure under the destination directory.
How can I get around this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance,

SSIS - Best Way To Copy Files From One Directory To Another
May 8, 2007In SSIS, I was to:
take files from c:directory1
copy them to cirectory2 with a different name (concatenated date on the end)
delete them from c:directory1
Should I be using the Script Task for this? I am wondering if I should be using the File System Task which copies directories or files, but I don't know if I could rename the files during the copy.
Also, I want the directory names to be in the configuration file. I am not sure how to do this. If I set up a flat file source connection, I need to specify a file name and I just want the directory names. How do I get them in the config file and how to I read them into my script from the config file?

Use SSIS To Copy Files Between Servers?
Apr 27, 2006This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem.
I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off.
So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible to use SSIS to perform the file copies from one remote server to another? If so, is the FTP task required, or can File System tasks be used?
An alternative would be Windows scripting, xcopy, robocopy, etc. but I like the features of SSIS and would like to take advantage of it's flow control, error handling, database scheduling, etc.
Any tips, sample code, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks,
david
T-SQL Commands To Copy Files && Stored Procedures

For instance a user might be running an application which has a SQL 2005 database DataA opena nd runnign stored procedures from that. I'd like a Stored procedure in that able to copy over a given stored procedure from a different database - DataB and copy into DataA. Is that possible?
Also is it possible from T-SQL to copy files on the servers underlying filesystem? Ie to copy some .aspx files from one location to another.

SQL 2012 :: Copy Backup Files From One Server To Another?
Sep 23, 2014I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).

Copy Bak, Trn Files To File Server With Robocopy.
Nov 29, 2007I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €śbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying...
Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this
robocopy
"F:ackup" "\sefwg-sqlbackackupACON" *.* /MIR /TBD /MON:1 /MOT:5 /LOG+:"F:ackupackup.log" /NP
Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task.
Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?

SSIS Job Execution Fails | Copy Files From Remote Machine
May 13, 2008Hi All
One of the step in sql agent job is to execute the SSIS package to copy files from remote shared location to local server where sql server is installed. The account on which SQL agent runs as has access to remote shared location. However SSIS package always fails with following error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\sharedlocationBCKTST105092008.csv' is denied.".
We have tried using proxies but same issue come with proxy also.
When using proxy, we created a proxy for a user who has access on that shared folder on Windows server(from which files are to be copied). If we login to SSIS server with the above user and execute SSIS package manually it works fine. However if we login with different user and run the job via SQL agent using proxy of the above user, then job fails throwing same above mentioned error
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
