The copy command (and any other command) allowed ftp files (in fact you can open an ftp site, with subdirectory names if desired, and use ftp:wildcard to reference them). The /s switch includes subdirectories. The /u switch only updates files with newer time stamps. It also supports wildcards. -- Best regards, Bill
