Hello,

Versions of Robocopy are also available with the Windows NT, 2000 and
2003 Resource Kit Tools, which are freely available for download from
Microsoft's web site:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.11.utilityspotlight.aspx

You can also try Robocopy GUI, which adds a GUI front-end to the CLI
utility:

Robocopy is already built into most recent versions of Windows (type
robocopy /? at a command line), and will do what you want.  (I believe the
reason MS didn't add this functionality to xcopy is that it would break some
scripts.)

Subject: [Thinkpad] Copying  only files not existing at target

>From a command-line user clueless about Windows Drag and Drop:

In copying contents of a folder to a folder on another machine over the
LAN, is it possible to move only the contained files that do not exist
on the target, or that are later in date?   Searching online resources
suggests one must move all, overwriting existing files, wasting time
in some situations.

Must I fall back to XCOPY?

Another alternative?
