Windows 10: ROBOCOPY fails copying files from source root

When copying files from source root, it seems that ROBOCOPY see the files as directories and the resoult is, that the filename become a directoiry name on targetHow can I prevent thatMy code:$FileName = Get-Date.tostring"MM-dd-yyyy---HH-mm-ss"$oldpaths = Get-ChildItem "\\rghsofsctxapp01\mdt$\*"$newpath = 'Q:\CTXMDT\'Set-Location $newpathforeach$oldpath in $oldpaths{ $newpath1 = $newpath + $oldpath.Name mkdir $newpath1 -ErrorAction Ig

robocopy files but exclude files in root

Hello,

I want to copy this directory, but exclude the files in root (a,b,c):

[table][tr][td]Source:c:\src\test\ - a.txt - b.txt - c.txt - sub1\ - d.txt - sub2\ - e.txt[/td][td]Destination:c:\dest\test\ - sub1\ - d.txt - sub2\ - e.txt[/td][/tr][/table]
I tried:

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd c:\src\test => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd test => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd . => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xd .. => a,b,c are copied

- robocopy c:\src\test c:\dest\test /s /xf c:\src\test\*.txt => Invalid parameter #5

I want to avoid a call for every \subX\ (robocopy c:\src\test\sub1 c:\dest\test\sub1 /s ...)

And I don't want to put robocopy inside a for loop to copy the subs or delete the files in a second step.

Is this possible anyhow?

 

Robocopy - Is there any way to verify the copied file matches the source?

It doesn't appear there is anyway for Robocopy to verify/confirm the copied file matches the source, is that the case?

 

robocopy files but exclude files in root

Hi Lynn,

thanks for your reply.

>> Regarding the <file name>, it is advised to use a.txt b.txt c.txt instead.

"a.txt b.txt c.txt" was only an example. Might be that there are hundreds of txt files, which of course, I dont't want to add with /xf to robocopy.

Another case would be to use robocopy in a script not knowing which files are present in the root folder. Using a loop to only copy the sub folders or deleting the root files after copying the whole folder is what I want to avoid.

I will have a look on the IT Pro link you posted in your answer. Maybe I can find a useful hint there

Regards
