The following script works no problem when I am moving files locally on our LAN but for some reason if I leave our lan and head out onto the WAN I get "Path not found" error.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

p1 is the anme of the file
p2 is the IP address of the workstation or box
p3 is the destination folder at that IP address


Dim objFSO, objFolder
On Error Resume Next
set wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set network = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
p1 = WScript.Arguments(0)
p2 = WScript.Arguments(1)
p3 = WScript.Arguments(2)
Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE
network.MapNetworkDrive "N:", strShare
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\pdf\"&p1 ,"\\"&p2&"\"&p3&"\", OverwriteExisting
WSCRIPT.QUIT

Status: offline 		what line do you get the path not found error on? Why do you map a drive then not use the mapping?

Status: offline 		sorry that was something I was experimentingw ith and forgot to atke out when I discovered that it would quickly ebcome unwieldy as it gets used by multiple users.

Dim objFSO, objFolder
On Error Resume Next
set wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
p1 = WScript.Arguments(0)
p2 = WScript.Arguments(1)
p3 = WScript.Arguments(2)
Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\pdf\"&p1 ,"\\"&p2&"\"&p3&"\", OverwriteExisting
WSCRIPT.QUIT

The error is triggered on teh line in bold

Status: offline 		If I put in values for p1, p2, and p3 then it works fine for me so I would suggest doing a WScript.Echo just before the copy line to be sure that the copy parameters are really what you think they are.

Status: offline 		You are likely right, I wa shoping it was something I was missing in the script but considering that it worked on the local LAN makes that tehory pretty far fetched, my next stop is to see if teh error is some how nailed down to the iseries calling the vbscript using RUNRMTCMD.   Does anybody know a forum where I might get thsi question answered?

Status: offline 		Your script cannot tell the difference between a WAN or a LAN.  At the OSI layer that your script operates on the WAN and LAN are all one big network.

There's a couple of caveats to that.  One is that there's conceivably something in the router that is preventing RPC calls (blocked port).  Can you run any WAN-wide scripts of this nature (not including login scripts as they may not run RPC calls)?  How is your network firewalled (firewalls often block this port)?  Windows firewall?

The other caveat is security credentials.  Are you admin over the systems on the WAN?  Different organizations handle that differently which is why I ask.
