   my fault :(   
      
   checking the event log, I see 7 entries:   
   (translated into English)   
      
   - activity activated by scheduler   
   - message received (credentials)   
   - activity activated   
   - action activated (the batch file)   
   - activity process created (cmd.exe)   
   - action completed (cmd.exe)   
   - activity completed   
      
   The scheduled task completes in 1 second and of course nothing happens:   
   no copy from NAS to local folder, no upload to remote disk with curl,   
   the LAN/WAN are NOT so fast

   Hi   
      
   I would try this one first, but note that among the 37 files I must   
   transfer, there are 25 whose name begins with $$; the rest are only   
   letters and digits, no spaces, no hyphen, no underscore, nothing else   
   that's not [A-Z0-9]   
      
   > In Windows, when specifying a file system path, it should always be   
   > double-quoted if it's not already double-quoted. Especially if the path is   
   > unknown, or may vary, or can be anything.   
   >   
      
   for what concerns the path, I strongly avoided all spaces and non   
   alphanumeric characters, why should I complicate my life when I can   
   keep things simple?   
      
   as I stated, the batch file runs without errors when manually executed   
      
   I also made a single-day version, removing the for /f "tokens=2   
   delims==" %%i in... command and manually setting dow=1 (day of week,   
   1=Monday)   
      
   well, it works (manual) and doesn't (schedule)   
      
      
   at this point I'll search a third party tool to bypass the scheduler
