Help with copying subdirectory structure of a folder to another location::

    Hello all,

    I was wondering if there is way of copying the entire substructure of a directory to another directory. How can I do this without copying the actual files in Windows of course.

    I know this is can be done in Unix easily, but, you know how it is...

    🙂

    I do not think you can do it in Windows. Read the last paragraph in this article.

    You could script this, but it would require some recursion to dig through all the subs, copy them, and ignore the files.

    YOU GUYS rock...

    eventhough I was looking for the copy command options, but, I think I will be happy with... this is great.

    I have not worked with VFP until end of the last year and this year and I have found out that xcopy is damaging vfp files during the copy process over the wan, but not the copy command.

    anyway, I am very glad this option is available under the xcopy command..

    thank you again...

    good times...
