xcopy in action
I’ve recently got trouble transferring files from cd to hard drive. Trying to stay simply – there were filesystem special files with < and > in their names that’ve been causing MS Windows drag & drop copy to fail. Unfortunatelly, these problematic files were placed all around, in every directory of deep directories structure, so it became obvious to me, that sticking to drag & drop with this task will be painfully time consuming. But, there is still some kind of command line at our disposal, so I did it my way:
xcopy <cd_drive_letter>:\* . /C /E
/E switch is the crucial one. Done.
