I use the following script to move folder from my server1 to another
server2 share folder.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\data" , "\\server2\backup"

It will end with "permission denied" error. So how can I resolve this,
pls
help.

Thanks

The MoveFolder method is basically a "rename" method,
hence it only works if the source and destination reside on
the same volume (same as move.exe under WinXP).

While the WSH 5.6 documentation does state a caveat:

"<b>Important</b> This method allows moving folders between volumes
only if supported by the operating system. "

This Technet Script Center example and associated documentation
suggests that this may not be the problem.

It is more likely to be related to a file or subfolder being in use at
the time of the attempted more - or related to the UNC addressed
target permissions.

I read what you wrote but my tests tell me something else.
Both of the following scripts fail:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "D:\Thu"

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "D:\"

whereas this one works:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "C:\Wed"

Since drive D: is a FAT32 volume, there are no permission
issues. What do you get when you try this script?
