User Input Operation in Windows batch Programming

I have three folders on my system and same folders are on the remote system. e.g.

30062011
22062011
15062011

What I want is basically an user input, which will transfer the contents of above folders to other folders of remote system, like if user enters 30062011, then the contents of this folder (30062011) from my system to the folder (30062011) of remote system should be moved and so on.

Please help.

You can use something like below:

set /P folder=Enter folder name:

Then use %folder% to copy the entered folder name

PS: You should consider providing sample code of what you had tried. Not just ask questions on what you want accomplished, that is not what Stackoverflow is for.
