Use the FileSystemObject object  namely  its CreateFolder and CopyFile methods  Basically  this is what your script will look like   Dim oFSO Set oFSO   CreateObject  Scripting FileSystemObject      Create a new folder oFSO CreateFolder  C  MyFolder     Copy a file into the new folder   Note that the destination folder path must end with a path separator     oFSO CopyFile    server folder file ext    C  MyFolder     You may also want to add additional logic  like checking whether the folder you want to create already exists  because CreateFolder raises an error in this case  or specifying whether or not to overwrite the file being copied  So  you can end up with this   Const strFolder    C  MyFolder    strFile      server folder file ext  Const Overwrite   True Dim oFSO  Set oFSO   CreateObject  Scripting FileSystemObject    If Not oFSO FolderExists strFolder  Then   oFSO CreateFolder strFolder End If  oFSO CopyFile strFile  strFolder  Overwrite
