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: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.11.utilityspotlight.aspx Regards, Aryeh Goretsky At 04:28 PM 1/27/2013, you wrote:

(I believe the reason MS didn't add this functionality to xcopy is that it would break some scripts.) -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jeffrey Race" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 10:00 PM To: "Thinkpad Users Group" <[email protected]> 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? Jeffrey Race
