    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    How to have files designate with a 2 at the end when copying files instead or replace or skip

    Skip or replace files dialog box missing while copying files with same names

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are not receiving the option to skip or replace the files, while copying files with same names. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    2. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?


    Refer the article
    Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Meanwhile, you can follow the suggestion mentioned below and see if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Try resetting the File Explorer settings to defaults and see if that helps.



    1. Press Windows +
      E key to open File Explorer.
    2. Now click on View and click on
      Options.
    3. On the Folder
      Options window click on Restore Defaults.
    4. Now click on View tab and click on
      Restore Defaults.


    Try copying the files with same names and see if you get the Skip or replace option window.



    Method 2:



    Uncheck the Folder Merge Conflicts option and see if that helps. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.



    1. Press Windows +
      E key to open File Explorer.
    2. Now click on View and click on
      Options.
    3. On the Folder
      Options window click on View tab.
    4. Under Advanced
      settings scroll down and uncheck the option Hide
      folder merge conflicts.
    5. Click on Apply and
      OK.


    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the details of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
