Jes Borland wants us to stop copying and pasting files between servers:
IT professionals (and amateurs), it’s time we had a chat. It’s time to stop dragging and dropping (or copying and pasting) files between servers and/or workstations.
It’s clumsy. It’s childish. It uses memory on the server.
Oh, and there’s a really easy tool to copy files built into Windows – Robocopy.
The syntax is pretty easy and robocopy handles small files well. Check out Nic Cain’s comment, though, if you’re going to copy large files in production.
