robocopy transfer file and not folder
- by Bill McKay
I'm trying to use robocopy to tranfer a single file from one location to another but robocopy seems to think I'm always specifying a folder. Here is an example:
robocopy "c:\transfer_this.txt" "z:\transferred.txt"
But I get this error instead:
2009/08/11 15:21:57 ERROR 123 (0x0000007B) Accessing Source Directory c:\transfer_this.txt\
(note the '\' at the end of transfer_this.txt)
But if I treat it like an entire folder:
robocopy "c:\folder" "z:\folder"
It works but then I have to transfer everything in the folder.
How can I only transfer a single file with robocopy?
