Jim G Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am trying to use Microsoft's Robocopy GUI to copy large folders. I'm missing something... I can't get it to work. I specify the source folder, then the target folder, click on RUN, and immediately get the "Robocopy finished" message telling me to view the log file. However, nothing is copied, and there is no log file. I must be leaving out an obvious step, but I don't know what it is. I even specify the wildcard *.* after the source folder name, still no success. I can't find any help in the brief guide that comes with Robocopy.Any of you familiar with Robocopy GUI, I'd appreciate your help. What am I leaving out?Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Have you considered RichCopy as an alternative?/>http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/0/fd05def7-68a1-4f71-8546-25c359cc0842/HoffmanUtilitySpotlight2009_04.exe.

Jim G Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hey, -pops- ....I tried RichCopy, and it worked great. Funny, I did the exact same thing with RichCopy as I was doing with RoboCopy. RichCopy worked great, RoboCopy wouldn't work at all. Go figure.But thanks for the tip.Jim G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
