TOTAL noob xcopy question ...

[badgerfruit]

Guys I am sorry to have to ask this but I can't for the life of me recall xcopy commands lol ...

Using the batch file:-

@echo off
cls
N:
cd \
mkdir 1047483660
cd 1047483660
xcopy "\\myserver\myshare\Folder1" /c /f /s /e >> c:\xcopy.log

Although the files copy OK (here's xcopy.log)

[SIZE=2][URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File1.avi"]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File1.avi[/URL] -> N:\1047483660\File1.avi[/SIZE]
[URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File2.avi"][U][COLOR=#0066cc]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File2.avi[/COLOR][/U][/URL] -> N:\1047483660\File2.avi
[URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File3.avi"][U][COLOR=#0066cc]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File3.avi[/COLOR][/U][/URL] -> N:\1047483660\File3.avi

I want it to make the same folder structure on the destination path instead of dumping all the files into the 'root'

(ie, so xcopy.log reads)

[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\Files"][U][COLOR=#0066cc][URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File1.avi"]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File[/URL][/COLOR][/U]1.avi[/URL] -> N:\1047483660\[U][COLOR=#0066cc]Folder1[/COLOR][/U]\File1.avi[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][URL="file://myserver/myshare/Folder1/Files"][URL="file://myserver/myshare/Folder1/File1.avi"][U][COLOR=#0066cc][URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File2.avi"]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File[/COLOR][/U][/URL]2.avi[/URL][/URL] -> N:\1047483660\[U][COLOR=#0066cc]Folder1[/COLOR][/U]\File2.avi[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][URL="file://myserver/myshare/Folder1/Files"][URL="file://myserver/myshare/Folder1/File1.avi"][U][COLOR=#0066cc][URL="file://\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File3.avi"]\\myserver\myshare\Folder1\File[/COLOR][/U][/URL]3.avi[/URL][/URL] -> N:\1047483660\[U][COLOR=#0066cc]Folder1[/COLOR][/U]\File3.avi
[/SIZE]

Did you try xcopy /? in cmd. That gives you the parameters.

hello, thank you for the prompt replies but I did read technet before making the batch file and I thought that I had hit the right combination, clearly not

Try

md 1047483660\Folder1

cd 1047483660\Folder1

Or, if you have several, e.g. Folder1, Folder2, etc you want to copy you can go up a level

md 1047483660

cd 1047483660

xcopy "\\myserver\myshare" /cefs
