    Default What is the old ms-dos command to....

    copy the entire directory including subdir to another one?

    I'm in the directory that I want to copy from so...


    xcopy *.* c:\007

    But this only copied what was in that dir not incoluding the subdir. I need it all.

    Man is sucks getting old.

    Thanks.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    xcopy /?

    will give you a list of the switches.

    xcopy *.* c:\007 /s /e
    is the command you want.

    I'm sure there's a reason you need command line, but ycopy ROCKS apart from being GUI...

    You computer types will find it handy if you haven't already used it.

    Yep windows would not finished coping files because of an error of some sort. xcopy was the only command that I knew of. But ycopy look cool.

    That earns it two claps .
