Just from the help text I would think just /E is enough.

Yes, Joao:


Try  XCOPY  C:\GAMES\*.* D:\GAMES /E /S


That worked fine.


  */E*
   Copy subdirectories, even if empty.

   */S*
   Copy subdirectories, except empty ones.


I hadn't realised the need for those options.

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY

[Don Flowers]

On a sort of related note (For Mateusz) would it be possible to include
XCOPY.EXE on the new all_cd.iso?
I can't telll you how many times I have needed XCOPY right off the bat only
and because of other issues have not been able to install it and had to
"re-burn" a modified CD.
I have one more suggestion for RAMDISK.BAT and CDROM.BAT - perhaps to
include a choice to load it or not? From a floppy drive RAMDISK takes an
eon to load and then most often is not needed. As for CDROM, some of us
cannot use the default UIDE configuration and have it load by default
messes up the process. For example on one PC, I need to load XCDROM first
followed by UIDE and then SHSUCDX; and on another I need UDVD2 instead of
UIDE. DARN QUIRKY PC's :^)

Great Ghost only copies to like file systems fat16 to fat16 or fat32 to
fat32.
So if you want to move from fat16 to fat32 you can use xcopy; it doesn't
care.

Doubt it. IIRC, it is limited to max 65000 files (so potentially bad
for big FAT32 drives).

Does /K make it copy system and hidden files.
Normal xcopy ignores them. You have to changes
the attributes first then change them back to get
a working copy. A real pain.

There was a similar thread about two years ago where several of us
gave some suggestions:

http://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/31617470/

Long story short: you may wish to use either xWcopy or DJGPP's (GNU
FileUtils) "cp" or maybe something else entirely.

Great :-D Seems to be a problem of XP (not of FreeDOS) ...

... nevertheless, you should implement tasks natively inside you app

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY still acting up in Windows XP !!??(copyingto external hard drive)

[Dyster.Robert]

Try using Microsoft's RoboCopy from the Windows 2003 resource kit:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/e/c/8ec3a7d8-05b4-440a-a71e-ca3
ee25fe057/rktools.exe

This is an amazing tool for copying files from a DOS box in Windows:

Robocopy.exe
Robust File Copy Utility
Version XP010

Robocopy is a 32-bit command-line tool used for file replication. This
tool helps maintain identical copies of a directory structure on a
single computer or in separate network locations. Robocopy is included
in the Microsoft(r) Windows(r) Resource Kit.

Important
Robocopy version XP010 requires Microsoft(r) Windows(r) Server 2003,
Microsoft(r) Windows(r) XP, Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 2000, or
Microsoft(r) Windows NT(r) version 4.0.

New Features in Robocopy Version XP010
Robocopy version XP010 includes a number of enhancements. For example,
you can now do the following:

*   Copy Junctions - Volume Mount Points and Directory Links. By
default these are copied as normal directories, as it may not be
possible to create an equivalent Junction in the destination, especially
if the source and destination reside on different machines. Copying a
tree that contains a Volume Mount Point can result in unexpectedly large
volumes of data being copied.
Use /XJ if you would prefer Robocopy to skip Junctions.

*   Act on and modify more file attributes.
In addition to support for the R, A, S, and H attributes:
/XA and /IA now also accept and select on the following addition file
attributes:
C - Compressed files
N - files Not content indexed
E - Encrypted files
T - Temporary files
O - Offline files
/A+ and /A- now also accept and modify the following additional
attribute type:
N - files Not content indexed
T - Temporary files

*   Select files based on their Last Accessed Dates.
/MAXLAD:n excludes files with a Last Access Date older than n.
/MINLAD:n excludes files with a Last Access Date newer than n.
If n  1900, n is taken to be a time span in days.
If n = 1900, n must be a date in the form MMDD

*   Copy a new class of file : Tweaked files.
Use /IT to include and process Tweaked files.
A Tweaked file is defined to be one that exists in both the source and
destination,
with identical size and timestamp, but different attribute settings. 
Form more information see Robocopy File Classes later in this
document.

*   Copy very long path names (longer that 256 characters).
Previous versions of Robocopy would fail to copy any pathname longer
than 256 characters. The program has now been enhanced to handle
pathnames of any length, up to the internal Windows limit of nearlt
32,000 characters.

Hi LimeyDi,

 Notice that in an attempt to figure this out I inserted underscores 
 between folder name words, but with or without these, I get either 
 too many parameters or invalid path.  A colleague suggested 
 inserting ~ after the 7th letter of a folder name (Backup\My_Docu~\ 
 for
example) but that doesn't
 work either.  Any bright ideas???   and thank you!

Parameters that contain long file names with spaces, should be indicated
with quotation marks:
XCOPY C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\*.*
I:\Backup\My Documents\*.* /s /h /d /r /y

That should work.

Regards,
MegaBrutal

[Freedos-user] XCOPY still acting up in Windows XP !!?? (copying to external hard drive)

[LimeyDi]

I have trawled for a solution but remain mystified, and I have been a basic
user of basic DOS for a few years.  In the past I used XCopy successfully on
a regular basis to copy the contents of the Owner\My Documents folder, with
the d/ switch blank so that only changed files would be overwritten, to a
backup folder.  However I can't get this to work when copying to the
external drive:   I want to copy My Documents from the C: drive to a Backup
folder on an external hard drive, which is drive I: connected to my PC.  I
can manually copy files there but XCopy generates error messages.  Here's my
batch file as it is now:

XCOPY C:\Documents_and_Settings\Owner\My Documents\*.*
I:\Backup\My_Documents\*.* /s /h /d /r /y

Notice that in an attempt to figure this out I inserted underscores between
folder name words, but with or without these, I get either too many
parameters or invalid path.  A colleague suggested inserting ~ after the
7th letter of a folder name (Backup\My_Docu~\ for example) but that doesn't
work either.  Any bright ideas???   and thank you!

Thank you, Mr. Riebisch, and my apologies for intruding by mistake into the
wrong forum.  Another user also suggested using opening and closing quotes,
but only around the source, not the target.  I'll experiment.

Hi LimeyDi,

 Notice that in an attempt to figure this out I inserted underscores 
 between folder name words, but with or without these, I get either 
 too many parameters or invalid path.  A colleague suggested 
 inserting ~ after the 7th letter of a folder name (Backup\My_Docu~\ for
example) but that doesn't
 work either.  Any bright ideas???   and thank you!

Parameters that contain long file names with spaces, should be indicated
with quotation marks:
XCOPY C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\*.*
I:\Backup\My Documents\*.* /s /h /d /r /y

That should work.

Regards,
MegaBrutal

I can also set up a place for Blair to upload the file to me somewhere

BTW, just a general note for anyone that needs to get FreeDOS software
to me: if you use anonymous ftp to ftp.ibiblio.org and go into
'incoming' then 'freedos', you can upload a file there. Just tested,
and it works. Email me to let me know what filename you uploaded, and
I can move it somewhere else.

But you've obviously got Internet access to post this message?

Anyway, if you want me to host the file for you, on my homepage, just

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY

[Norbert Remmel]

 Ive already compiled xcopy with lfn support, but I dont have internet
 access to release it.

Another idea would be to push the sources to FreeDOS SVN to have a
centralized way of managing the source code and to keep track of all
changes.

Wouldn't this be a good idea for all FreeDOS utilities available out there?

[Freedos-user] XCOPY

Is there any possibility to have FreeDOS Xcopy with LFN-Support, or are
there any other alternatives to copy full directory trees?

[Freedos-user] XCOPY bugs

[John Hupp]

While fiddling with the Arachne/ARA-PDF difficulty that I've been reporting 
on, I found that XCOPY has some lingering problems.

The first thing I noticed was a problem copying the C:\GS tree 
(GhostScript).  It has sub-directories named GS.705 and FONTS.  XCOPY will 
only copy C:\GS\*.*.  The problem is apparently a rejection of directories 
with numbered extensions, since it successfully copies other directories 
elsewhere with letter extensions.

The second problem was in the FDOS tree.  (In the past, XCOPY refused to 
copy large chunks of the FDOS tree, but that seems to have been mostly 
solved.)  I tried copying the whole FDOS tree just because of my past 
experience with the problem there.  I found that XCOPY copied the entire 
tree except for the PACKAGES sub-directory.  The only thing remarkable I 
notice about PACKAGES is that it has 198 sub-directories.

 tree except for the PACKAGES sub-directory.  The only thing remarkable I
 notice about PACKAGES is that it has 198 sub-directories.

XCOPY does not copy EMPTY directories by default, and MANY directories
in the package subtree are empty. It would be a VERY useful optimisation
if FDPKG could just touch empty FILES to flag package installed, as
such files would not consume disk space. Only roughly one third of the
packages directories actually contain extra files. Those files can be
depends.txt, install,bat, remove,bat or upgrade,bat. Actually

I would even recommend to store ALL those files in ONE packages directory
as packagename.dep packagename.ins packagename.del and packagename.upd
(and then dynamically copy files to some temp,bat to run them, when one
wants to install/delete/update a package).

This can easily save 6 MB of disk space for a full FreeDOS 1.0
install, so I would strongly recommend to add this feature.

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY bugs - and FDPKG wastes disk space

[John Hupp]

All enemies of bloat and fans of disk usage economy would undoubtedly cheer 
if FDPKG modified its behavior as you suggest.

To follow up on the point about XCOPY bad behavior #2, however, I'll note 
that I was using the XCOPY /E option, so it should have copied every single 
sub-directory, empty or not.
