I am trying to achieve something using RouterOS scripting, and I'm hoping that here I might find the appropriate expertise.
>From a script running in a Mikrotik router I wish to pull in a copy of a file from an attached Windows computer. The computer is on the same subnet as the router.
By way of illustration:
A file called test.xxx exists on a Windows computer in the folder c:\aaa\
I want a copy of this file to appear in the attached router /file list. This copy "event" could be either a push from the computer, or a pull from the router.
When using Winbox, this function is achieved easily using "drag and drop", but I need to automate the function.
Thanks.

Sounds like you just need /tool fetch.

The blacklist script is a thorough example:

Alternatively, you can push from Windows, by having an SSH key installed
and using SCP:

Bart’s suggestion is a better way as it is much more secure. Allowing FTP to be run at any time in RouterOS is asking for trouble, as it can be potentially be used for a bad actor to infect your device. SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is not only encrypted but using Secure Shell (SSH) to access it helps prevent problems.
