System: Win2k3 Server

We are receiving a nightly FTP upload to a specific directory. The file's name changes based on several criterion; none of which I have control over. Basically, the date is PART of the file name, but there are other numbers that appear pretty random from the filesystem perspective.

Anyway, I want to accomplish a couple of things:
1. copy the file to a network share (\\ipaddress\share)
2. MOVE the file to a local directory so it can be decrypted (pgp); the file WOULD be renamed in the move

I'm hoping to put this into a sheduled task in win2k3 so that I don't have to intervene. What I'm struggling with is how to work with a file that I don't know it's file name? I only know the extension, but I'm certain I need the file's name in order to perform the copy/move/rename operations.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
JonCode: [Select]@ECHO off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /s /b c:\specificdirectory') do (
copy "%%v" \\ipaddress\share
move "%%v" c:\localdirectory
ren "%%v" newname
)

You'll need to change the directory and newname placeholders.
