Hello All,
Will this work, i have a website package with multiple files i.e .dll, .asp, .txt, .pdf, png, .jpg and the list goes on... this also includes folders and multiple sub-directories
I want to be able to copy all the folders/files with the structure to multiple servers on Windows 2003 using xcopy, i cannot test this properly only on my local machine which is Windows 7.
However the destination folder has more folders/files and the below is the code i have to copy from one server to multiple servers. I want to keep the folders/files that are already in the destination server that is not in the new_code folder.
xcopy "D:\Server1\new_code\*.* "\\Server11\D$\code" /y /e /r >"CopyCode.log"
and would i need the "/d" switch?
I want to be able to run this from Server1 to Server10
And just to be sure is this switch "*.*" new files only?

You can test the copy by using two folders on your hard drive.
In the target folder you can put a bunch of files and folders which emulate the files/folders that are already in the server folder.
xcopy "D:\folder1\new_code\*.*" "D:\folder2\target\" /s/h/e/k/f/cThe /d switch is used to copy a range of files by date. You don't need it in the way you have described.
The filespec *.* means all files. The /h switch means to include hidden files too.
This shows you the help screen for xcopy:

thank you, thats very use full what you have provided.
yes i will have to give it ago i guess i'm just curious about if xcopy will work from one server to another all in the same network so i do not see why it shouldn't.
about ignoring the errors i think i will just have it also point to a log file, is there a way of having a log file include the source and destination so i can easily reference any files?
