    recursively copy files


    I was wondering if there was a way to recursively copy files with windows


    for example I have an Adobe CD or DVD and there is a folder of fonts. Manually copying them is very tedious.


    so I was wondering if there was a way to do this with a batch file or shell script


    fonts vary from type 1, true type and now open type. this makes font management a real headache

    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
