Sharing with you a simple Powershell script I wrote and use to list all the files names and location information for a given folder and then easily copy that TXT file between other folders in the same server.
E.g:- list all files inside myFolderA and export this info to myFile.txt
This will not copy files between remote servers. That requires a more complex method using Invoke-command and remote powershell authentication
To list content of folder
Get-ChildItem K:\myfolderA\*.*| Set-Content K:\myfolderA\myfile.txt
To copy into myFolderB
$From = "K:\myfolderA\myfile.txt"
Copy-Item -Path $From -Destination "J:\myfolderB\newMyfile.txt" -Recurse -Force
$From = This will be the full path of the file you want to copy
Destination – This will be the destination drive and folder for your copied file
