VBS script to copy files and folders across network - file

Question

I needed to copy all of my photos from my old laptop to my new laptop. This is a quick and dirty script that I put together (based on other scripts on this site) to copy files from one network location to another. I wanted the process to be able to recover in case of a network copy error because the total time to copy all of my photos was 40 hours.
sourceRoot and targetRoot is the beginning part of the file path to replace between locations. lastFileLog is a file used to keep track of the last file that was copied. This is needed to recover from a partial copy. Windows seems to allocate the full file size even when the file fails to copy. So I just keep track of the last file to copy it again on failure. objStartFolder is the starting path on the source network location.
'initialize paths
objStartFolder = "\\owner-pc\d\pics"
lastFileLog = "c:\Files\misc\archive.log"
sourceRoot = "\\owner-pc\d"
targetRoot = "c:\Files"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'read log
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(lastFileLog)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
replacefile= objFile.ReadLine
Wscript.Echo "This file will be replaced: " & replacefile
Loop
objFile.Close
'copy files
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
ShowSubfolders objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
'clear log
Set objFileLog = objFSO.CreateTextFile(lastFileLog,True)
objFileLog.Write ""
objFileLog.Close
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
For Each Subfolder in Folder.SubFolders
Wscript.Echo Subfolder.Path
if not(objFSO.FolderExists(replace(Subfolder.Path,sourceRoot,targetRoot))) then
objFSO.CreateFolder(replace(Subfolder.Path,sourceRoot,targetRoot))
end if
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Subfolder.Path)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
if not(objFSO.FileExists(replace(Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name,sourceRoot,targetRoot))) then
Wscript.Echo Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name
Set objFileLog = objFSO.CreateTextFile(lastFileLog,True)
objFileLog.Write Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name
objFileLog.Close
objFSO.CopyFile Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name, replace(Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name,sourceRoot,targetRoot)
elseif replacefile = Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name then
Wscript.Echo "Replacing ... " & Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name
objFSO.CopyFile Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name, replace(Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name,sourceRoot,targetRoot),true
else
Wscript.Echo "Skip ... " & Subfolder.Path & "\" & objFile.Name
end if
Next
ShowSubFolders Subfolder
Next
end sub

For Folder: Try This.
Option Explicit
Dim obj,Itemcoll1,a,b
Set obj=CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Function SelectFold1(Desc)
Set SelectFold1=obj.BrowseForFolder(0,Desc,0,"C:\Users\Mohammed Sajjad\Desktop\")
End Function
Set Itemcoll1=SelectFold1("Copy: ").Items
SelectFold1("Paste: ").CopyHere Itemcoll1 'Use MoveHere if you want to move
MsgBox "Completed"
For File:
Option Explicit
Dim objApp : Set objApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim objSHL : Set objSHL = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Browse for Folder
'----------------------------------------------------------
Function SelectFold()
Dim objFolder
Set objFolder = objApp.BrowseForFolder(0,"Select a Folder",0,0)
If objFolder Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Canceled"
WScript.Quit
Else
SelectFold = objFolder.Self.Path & "\"
End If
End Function
'----------------------------------------------------------
'Browse for file
'----------------------------------------------------------
Function SelectFile()
Dim tempFolder : Set tempFolder = objFSO.GetSpecialFolder(2)
Dim tempFile : tempFile = objFSO.GetTempName() & ".hta"
Dim path : path = "HKCU\Volatile Environment\MsgResp"
With tempFolder.CreateTextFile(tempFile)
.Write "<input type=file name=f>" & _
"<script>f.click();(new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell'))" & _
".RegWrite('HKCU\\Volatile Environment\\MsgResp', f.value);" & _
"close();</script>"
.Close
End With
objSHL.Run tempFolder & "\" & tempFile, 0, True
If objSHL.RegRead(path) = "" Then
objSHL.RegDelete path
objFSO.DeleteFile tempFolder & "\" & tempFile
WScript.Quit
End If
SelectFile = objSHL.RegRead(path)
objSHL.RegDelete path
objFSO.DeleteFile tempFolder & "\" & tempFile
End Function
'----------------------------------------------------------
objFSO.CopyFile SelectFile, SelectFold
