Replacement for xcopy

[stephan_bauer]

Hello,

I would like to use junction (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinte...28en-us%29.aspx) for changing the SOURCE folder. Unfortunatelly xcopy can not handle junctions.

The only working replacement I found it xcopy from ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/). The problem with this xcopy program is that it doesn't understand options like this: xcopy /DE. It needs xcopy /D /E.

Does anyone know a direct replacement for xcopy?

Thanks in advance

Hello e-t-c,

thank you very much for your answer.

My problem is not creating junctions or something like that. I need a replacement for xcopy. A program that I can rename as xcopy.exe und using it with hfslip-xxx.cmd.

Regards

Stephan

strarc (was "xcopynt" ) can also handle junctions, but I am failing to understand the "direct replacement" requisite, maybe it's not what you want:

To speed up HFSLIP I have redirected the SOURCE directory to another harddisk. In the HFANSWER.INI file I define the SOURCESS variable.

For testing I provide my branch of changes as a diff.

I think more variables should be defined in HFSLIP to let users specify SOURCE, SOURCESS, WORK and ISO path.

Hmmm, reposting the program without regard of the creative commons legal code and without notification of who the author is. Sounds lik a violation to me. Above zip file deleted.

Hello,

thank you all for your replies but there is no answer for my question :-)

Because of my limited english I will try to explain it again.

I'm using hfslip. hfslip uses xcopy.exe. I want to use junctions. xcopy of Windows XP does not support junctions.

I'm working on a script where I can select between XP Home, XP Pro, IE7 and IE8 and I want to maintain only on HF folder. Thats why I want to use junctions for the SOURCE folder.

To use junctions without changing hfslip I would need a version of xcopy.exe that supports junktions.

Does anyone know a version of xcopy that works on Windows XP and supports junctions?

Xcopy.exe of ReactOS supports junctions but does not support command line options this way: xcopy.exe /DE

It works with xcopy.exe /D /E

I sent an email to the maintainer (http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Daniel_Reimer) about this but didn't get an answer till now.

Is there any interest in a patch to seperate the command line options?

I would do this.

Regards

Stephan

Workaround .

Rename React Os xcopy.exe to ROSXCOPY.EXE

Create a batch file that "translates the syntax", something along the lines of (just a simple example):.

IF %1.==/DE. ROSXCOPY.EXE /D /E

"Compile" it with this:

as XCOPY.EXE

Would it work?

Cannot say, but it should.
