Re: batch file syntax

Use XCOPY instead of COPY. XCOPY /? will give you all the command line options.

Doug,

That works great, thanks a lot.

Is there an expression that would also copy all the folders, and not just
the files, contained within the source folder?

Thanks again,

Clem.

Copy "C:\folder1\*.*" "\\<computername>\<sharename>\<foldername>"

The following batch file copies files from one directory to another, on
the
same HD:

copy "C:\folder1\*.*" "C:\folder2"

My question is: what is the proper syntax to send the files to a directory
on a different computer that is networked with the source computer?

Thanks for your help.

Clem.
