thanks bhai appreciate the links.. the copy process is working as expected i had it working but they is a  condition to pick newer files if they get sent like yesterday and todays files are sent today .. both should be picked . based on the date im picking current but as of today i got 2 files it picked todays and not yesterdays 

that condition i want to know how..

should work try this

Copy-Item \\server\Sites\xyz.com\App\scripts\xyz.txt \\server\destpath\abc\ -force
Copy-Item \\server\Sites\xyz.com\App\scripts\xyz.txt \\server\destpath\abc\ -force
Copy-Item \\server\Sites\xyz.com\App\scripts\xyz.txt \\server\destpath\abc\ -force

i cant recreate this scenario in my laptop..because i am using mac...just play around it...

as per my understanding...you might need to do these steps (if i am correct)...

 

1. first get the files which created today (or yesterday by tweeking th below...)

(Get-ChildItem -File | Where-Object {$_.CreationTime -gt (Get-Date).Date} | Measure-Object).Count 

 

2. do some google about "data piping". which passes the data from one cmdlet to another cmdlet...

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_pipelines?view=powershell-7.1

 

3. in the "Copy-Item" cmdlet...you can use include and exclude...
