Dear Simmi,

Below is a sample that can help you in undertaking the task:

Dim oFS : Set oFS = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Dim sSrcDir : sSrcDir = "//server\share"
Dim sDstDir : sDstDir = oFS.GetAbsolutePathName( "your\folder" ) & "\"

WScript.Echo "sSrcDir:", sSrcDir
WScript.Echo "sDstDir:", sDstDir

If Not oFS.FolderExists( sDstDir ) Then oFS.CreateFolder sDstDir

Dim oSrcFiles : Set oSrcFiles = oFS.GetFolder( sSrcDir ).Files
Dim oFile, sFSpec
For Each oFile In oSrcFiles
WScript.Echo "Src ", oFile.Path
sFSpec = sDstDir & oFile.Name
If oFS.FileExists( sFSpec ) Then
WScript.Echo "Fnd ", sFSpec
If oFile.DateLastModified > oFS.GetFile( sFSpec ).DateLastModified Then
WScript.Echo "Cpy (D)", sFSpec
oFile.Copy sFSpec
End If
Else
WScript.Echo "Cpy (N)", sFSpec
oFile.Copy sFSpec
End If
Next

Thanks in advance.
