Question

I am currently looking for a script which would move the files from folders and subfolders from one location to another.

source: Network UNC path
Destination: Local server (where the script would run)

Below is the powershell script, which I had developed and its not working as per my requirement. The files in subfolders are not getting moved.

i am unable to customize it further....

get-childitem -Path "\\servername\location" |
    where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-10)} | 
    move-item -destination "C:\Dumps"

Any further help is highly appreciated.

Friends , need help to get the script. Powershell script to move files and folders with complete folder structure from one location to another older than x days

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\s -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-date).AddDays(0)} | Move-Item -destination C:\d

The script is working fine by moving the files,however need complete folder structure to be copied with the same name which is at source (c:\s),if the folder is empty needs to be moved completely at destination (c:\d)
