Speed of copying files on a remote server
Solution 1:
There are a few ways to have the copy process run on the remote server:
- remote desktop to the server
- use a WMI call to copy the files (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176985.aspx#EFAA)
- use powershell remoting to invoke-command then copy-item (invoke-command syntax here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347578.aspx)
- use schtasks to create a task on the remote system to run your copy command locally (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/schtasks.mspx?mfr=true)
