All,

Using RB2006r3.  Developing on WinXP but deploying on OSX.

I need to copy a folder hierarchy containing a large number of sizable
files.  Using FolderItem.CopyFileTo is too slow.  Which API function
should I use?  I found PBHCopyFileSync, but according to this post by
Thomas Reed, it doesn't handle HFS+ filenames correctly
(http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2003-08/ msg01851.html).
 Also, can you point me to a code sample showing how to use the
function?  I have no experience with Carbon or Cocoa.

dim sh as new Shell

sh.execute "cp -R "+sourceDirectory.shellpath+" "+destinationDirectory.shellpath

Untested, but should work, maybe I left out a few parameters of the shell, check the language reference.

Best regards

Peter De Berdt
