Copy folder structure on Windows

Question

I want to replicate the folder structure from a location in another location. Also, I want only the structure which is one level deep to be replicated. Is there a way to do it?

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

Answer 1

You can use XXCOPY with the /T and /DL switches.

/DL Limits processing of directory nesting to n levels.

/T Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. It copies all directories including empty ones

Answer 2

If you don't want to use third party programs, the windows 7 native XCOPY command can also duplicate a folder structure.

xcopy source dest /t /e

will create the directory structure including empty folder but without copying the files.

Answer 3

From a command prompt:

cd C:\Path\To\Source
for /d %i in (*) do @md "C:\Path\To\Destination\%i"

Make sure to quote the destination path to take into account any folders with spaces in the name.
