Description

Copies files and directory trees.

Syntax

XCopy

source [destination] [/A | /M] [/C] [/D[:date]] [/S [/E]]
[/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...] [/F] [/G] [/H] [/I] [/K] [/L]
[/N] [/O] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/T] [/U] [/V] [/W] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]

Parameters and Switches

source		Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination		Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A		Copies only files with the archive attribute set, doesn't change the attribute.
/C		Continues copying even if errors occur.
/D:m-d-y		Copies files changed on or after the specified date. If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
/E		Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones. Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...		Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string should be in a separate line in the files. When any of the strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the .obj extension respectively.
/F		Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
/G		Allows the copying of encrypted files to destination that does not support encryption.
/H		Copies hidden and system files also.
/I		If destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assumes that destination must be a directory.
/K		Copies attributes. Normal XCopy will reset read-only attributes.
/L		Displays files that would be copied.
/M		Copies only files with the archive attribute set, turns off the archive attribute.
/N		Copies using the generated short names.
/O		Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/P		Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/Q		Does not display file names while copying.
/R		Overwrites read-only files.
/S		Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/T		Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes empty directories and subdirectories.
/U		Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/V		Verifies the size of each new file.
/W		Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/X		Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
/Y		Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/-Y		Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/Z		Copies networked files in restartable mode.

Examples, Notes and Instructions

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.
