    Hello I can't find the DOS command to move a file from one computer to another on a network. Help!

    With Explorer, highlight the file you want to move, then at the top of Explorer, select Edit/Cut.
    Then go to your receiving PC and highlight the Directory in which you want to put that file, then click Edit/Paste.
    The Cut will only work if you have Read/Write permission. If not, just select Copy instead of Cut.

    No need to use DOS, and it would not work anyway, because there is no networking under DOS.

    realblackstuff: I know it won't work from dos on it's own, but surely it's capable of networking in the form of the windows commandline???

    According to the link I posted, it's possible to automate the sending/recieving of specified files etc at startup in this way. I've never seen it before though.

    I have to agree that in the main it's easier to do it from explorer though, even if it could be done through DOS.

    move \\sourcehost\share\folder\file \\destinationhost\share\folder\file

    RBS - many network admins are in situations where they have to move files across networks via command line and it does work.

    LNCPapa, I would not expect these DOS-commands to work on NTFS-partitions, which are the most common on networks, hence my (perhaps a bit bold) statement.

    Out of interest, has anybody tried typing "ftp -?" at the command line?

    No, I didn't mean /? I meant -? :D

    That's what I read anyways. Be interesting to know how well it works

    DOS commands work just fine on NTFS formatted drives - all my windows based machines are strictly NTFS.

    I think Amir46 wasn't precise enough by saying DOS command, I guess he meant a command to type from the command line.
