xcopy command from windows to ubuntu box

[babyrajT]

HI All,

I am trying to copy folders(have files inside) from windows to samba server using xcopy command .The folder structure of the source is c:\www\1,2,3,4,...... this will increase each day and will change the files inside the folder on a daily or weekly basis.Now I mapped the samba share to the source windows server as /back (as z: drive)and I am using xcopy /e /s /k /d /y c:\www z:\www.It is working fine .Becasue of a huge amount of files and folders, I am planning to copy only the updated and newly created folders and files only.Can any one help me to modify the existing command ?

Thanks in advance .

This command will only copy new or newer existing files starting at the high level folder and every folder and file under it.

xcopy c:\Windows\*.* d:\Ubuntu /e /y /d

Obviously replace the from and to locations. Run it in the dos prompt or a batch file.

I could't understand can you explain in detail?

Not much to explain. You said you already had a working command but was interested in one that would only copy new folder and files or ones that were changed.

So,


Replace this part of the command I provided with the address of the
files you want to copy:

c:\Windows\*.*

This format says copy everything within c:\Windows including folders and files.
If you want to copy an entire drive it would be c:\*.*


Replace this part of the command I provided with the address of the
place you want to copy to:

d:\Ubuntu
The switches at the end just say to do what you want. All of the switch definitions are available in the help for xcopy so just do a help xcopy in a dos prompt and you can see what each does.
