xcopy (复制文件和目录树)

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

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable that

can be overridden with /-Y on the command line.

XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/W] [/C] 
[/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U] [/K] [/N]

xcopy *.* /h hope

In the example above, the xcopy command copies all the files (including hidden ones) in the current directory into the hope directory.

xcopy c:\temp /e

In the example above, is the basic xcopy command to copy the files, directories, and subdirectories in the temp directory to the current directory.

xcopy "c:\documents and settings\hope" /e

In the example above, the xcopy command would copy all files and directories in the user "hope" directory to the current directory.

xcopy hope example /e

In the example above, the xcopy command copies all directories (even empty directories) and files from the hope directory into the example directory.

xcopy h:\*.* /a /e /k

The command above copies everything located on the H drive to the current directory.

Getting Invalid number of parameters error

This error occurs when the command you're entering has spaces in it. When typing a directory with spaces in MS-DOS, make sure to surround the path with quotes. For example, instead of typing: c:\documents and settings type "c:\documents and settings" at the prompt.

Cannot perform a cyclic copy

This error occurs when you're trying to copy directories that contain the destination directory. If this command were to be allowed, it would get into a loop and would never stop copying. When using the xcopy command, if you copy all directories and subdirectories the destination has to be a completely separate directory or drive.

Parse error

This error occurs when the command you're typing in has invalid syntax. For example, if you're surrounding your path in quotes and leave out the ending quotes.

I attempted to use the above xcopy command and was not able to copy all files within my favorites folder

After further examination, Computer Hope also encountered this issue. However, we were able to copy the majority of all favorites by using the command below. Also, consider using robocopy.

xcopy c:\windows\favorites\*.* /e /k /i /c

We are under the impression this issue is generated because of the way that Internet Explorer saves the URL (favorite) using long file names with extended characters.

What is xcopy32?

Xcopy32 was a command available with Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98. Although it can be run by itself, it is executed automatically when xcopy is used on a 32-bit file system like FAT32. For early 16-bit file systems that had both xcopy and xcopy32, the xcopy command is used. If you're trying to decide to run xcopy or xcopy32, always use xcopy.
