Solve : Looking for a copy program?

Answer»

Hi All,
I need to COPY a lot of FILES from one folder to ANOTHER across my network. My problem is that the files are about 6 folders deep and some of the folders don't have any file when you open it. For example

source\folder\folder\folder\folder\3 or 4 IMAGE files
or it could be
source\folder\folder\folder\folder\empty

What I need is to copy or move the folders and files if they have files while using the same folders names. So the source has to be checked to see if there is some files in the end of the sub folders. If it has files I need to copy or move to another location with the same sub folders.

In short I need to do a merge with some exsisting folders and files but to not bring over the empty folders.

Anyone have any ideas for some free software that could do this?

Thanks

Try this links http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/system/fwfilemanagement.html

Check out the /s command line switch.Quote from: Spoiler on October 20, 2011, 01:41:03 PM

XCopy /T copies everything but empty directories.

RoboCopy's /S switch acts the same as xcopy's /T
