I do not know what the underlying problem is, it is somewhere between LEP and DOS.
I am unable to get xcopy, or robocopy, to work through LEP <period>. I know (at least in the case of xcopy) that the command is being executed as a file (empty) is created when stderr is piped to a file. I also know that both commands work without issue from the command line (DOS), or from a batch file, and even when stderr is piped to a file there is no error file generated. I have written/am in the process of writing 4D code to do the tasks I was trying to get these DOS commands to do. The code I have completed so far works, on both platforms. It may not be the fastest - but functionality first. This also resolves an open issue for me, one that I have not seen answered. When copying from one platform to the other (using command line programs) what happens when the file path contains and unsupported configuration for the other platform? i.e. copy from Windows -> Mac where some part of the pathname contains a ":" (for those not using Macs ':' = directory marker) As a side note - using LEP to get the Mac to run it's command line program (cp) was no problem. In case it matters: 4D v13.5 (stand alone - Dev Pro) Mac OS 10.9.5 Windows 7 (pro) 32bit probably installed through an upgrade from XP. Thanks for the input to try to help me resolve this issue.
