Request help with xcopy command


Recommended Posts

Posted

Trying to copy bunch of movies to an external drive using the xcopy command but it won't work, says invalid number of parameters. 


 


xcopy E:\Backup\New Stuff\Movies N:\ /s /e


 


Recently used the same parameters on xcopy command and it worked great.  What am I doing wrong?


Have tried this over and over with same results.


 


Please advise.

it might be your folder name New Stuff. without quotes the command will get the source as E:\Backup\New and the Stuff\Movies part will become the invalid parameters.

btw /E switch copies all folders including the empty ones. /S switch does the same without copying empty folders. so why would you use both or why would you copy empty folders?
