How can I copy a folder from my machine to another machine from command line?

Question

I have tried :-

c:>xcopy \192.168.1.12\Share\IT\

But it copies only files not the folders.

Which folders did it omit? Have a read microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/… — Tog, Oct 17, 2013 at 7:07

Try this instead:

xcopy /e \\192.168.1.12\Share\IT\

The /e will copy all folders and sub folders. You can replace it with /s if you want empty folders and sub folders to be ignored.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289483 has more information on the switches available for both xcopy and xcopy32.
