With the code below I can find file named Sample1.jpg in folder located in "C:\Source\" and copy it to new location "D:\Job\".
How can I make a loop to copy all the files listed in Sheet1 in Colum G


VBA Code:
'In this Example I am Copying the File From "C:Temp" Folder to "D:Job" Folder
Sub MatchCopyAFile()

'Declare Variables
Dim FSO
Dim sFile As String
Dim sSFolder As String
Dim sDFolder As String

'This is Your File Name which you want to Copy
sFile = "Sample1.jpg"

'Change to match the source folder path
sSFolder = "C:\Source\"

'Change to match the destination folder path
sDFolder = "D:\Job\"

'Create Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Checking If File Is Located in the Source Folder
If Not FSO.FileExists(sSFolder & sFile) Then
    MsgBox "Specified File Not Found", vbInformation, "Not Found"
   
'Copying If the Same File is Not Located in the Destination Folder
ElseIf Not FSO.FileExists(sDFolder & sFile) Then
    FSO.CopyFile (sSFolder & sFile), sDFolder, True
    MsgBox "Specified File Copied Successfully", vbInformation, "Done!"
Else
    MsgBox "Specified File Already Exists In The Destination Folder", vbExclamation, "File Already Exists"
End If

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Add these few lines of code to your macro. I'm assuming that the file names in column G are complete of estension and that in row 1 you have a header (adjust macro if necessary).
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
'In this Example I am Copying the File From "C:Temp" Folder to "D:Job" Folder
Sub MatchCopyAFile()
    'Declare Variables
    Dim FSO
    Dim sFile  As String
    Dim sSFolder As String
    Dim sDFolder As String
    Dim LR     As Long                            'last row column G   '<- added
    Dim x      As Long                            'generic counter for loop    '<- added
    'Change to match the source folder path
    sSFolder = "C:\Source\"
    'Change to match the destination folder path
    sDFolder = "D:\Job\"
    'Create Object
    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    LR = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row    '<- added
    For x = 2 To LR                               '<- added (starts from row 2 because header in row 1)
        'This is Your File Name which you want to Copy
        sFile = Cells(x, "G")                     '<- changed
        'Checking If File Is Located in the Source Folder
        If Not FSO.FileExists(sSFolder & sFile) Then
            MsgBox "Specified File Not Found", vbInformation, "Not Found"
            'Copying If the Same File is Not Located in the Destination Folder
        ElseIf Not FSO.FileExists(sDFolder & sFile) Then
            FSO.CopyFile (sSFolder & sFile), sDFolder, True
            MsgBox "Specified File Copied Successfully", vbInformation, "Done!"
        Else
            MsgBox "Specified File Already Exists In The Destination Folder", vbExclamation, "File Already Exists"
        End If
    Next x                                        '<- added
    MsgBox "Done!"                                '<- added
End Sub
