An easy way is to use a simple batch file (not 100% on syntax) type the code in notepad and save as whatever.bat:

copy c:\folder\file.xxx s:\folder

Where c:\ is the location on machine A and s:\ is machine B

Then use scheduler to run this whenever you choose Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks (follow the wizard)

This is providing your running Windows XP of course ;)

Yeh it sould work just change the drive letter to your server names for example:

copy drive\folder\file.xxx secondserver\drive\folder

and run this on the first server
