copy

  • copy copies a file or list of files from one directory to another directory in the same storage device or a different one

  • /v verifies that new files are written correctly

  • /y suppresses prompting to confirm if you want to overwrite an existing destination file

  • copy /y /v C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\*.mp3 C:\Users\Jon\Music\DownloadedMusic\

  • xcopy copies multiple files and directories

  • it's the equivalent of cp -rf

  • /S copies directories and subdirectories except for empty ones

  • e.g. xcopy /s Documents e:\backups (under backups folder which already exists)

  • robocopy (robust copy) is a better version of xcopy

  • if a file transfer is interrupted you are able to resume it—good for WANs

  • robocopy /s Documents e:\backups

  • by the way the e: drive in Professor's case is his flash drive, I'm sure it could be anything
