And there are plenty of options and switches for different demands. You can copy folders and subfolders including or excluding files from one location to another location by following the steps in different situations. Click Start and type cmd in the search box. Right-click Command Prompt from the result list and select Run as administrator. Now, when you're in the Command Prompt, you can type Xcopy command as below to copy folders and subfolders including contents.
Remember that for folders with spaces in the name or folders larger than 8 characters in length, it is a good idea to put quotation marks around the path as in the figure above or you may get an error.
You can open the Command Prompt according to the steps shown above. Then, type the Xcopy command as below to copy folders and subfolders without files:. Once the Command Prompt is open, you can then type the following Xcopy command to copy all files and folders and retain its NTFS and Share permissions.
Actually, there are many parameters of Xcopy command, and you can combine different parameters for different situations. But if there is a slight error in the command, the copy operation may fail, and even lead to data loss.
Therefore, you must be very careful when using Xcopy command. For users who are not familiar with the use of the command line, and want to copy files and folders easily, you can also use a third-party backup software. Xcopy essentially duplicates your folders to create an intact copy, and although it has some optional parameters, it is still difficult to do some advanced operations or requires carefully written syntax.

The above will check if that path exists, if it does it will do nothing, if it doesn't it will create it using the MD command.
If you run your xcopy command after this command everything should work for you. If I have a folder with this structure, is there a command to copy this entire folder with its contents all at once while preserving the exact structure.
Robocopy replaces Xcopy. It comes with Windows 8, 8. I suspect that the xcopy command is the magic bullet you're looking for. It can copy files, directories, and even entire drives while preserving the original directory hierarchy.
There are also a handful of additional options available, compared to the basic copy command. Check out the documentation here. If your batch file only needs to run on Windows Vista or later, you can use robocopy instead, which is an even more powerful tool than xcopy , and is now built into the operating system. It's documentation is available here. For the experiments, I wrote some code in the scripting language Open Object Rexx and the editor macro language Kexx with the text editor KEdit.
The experiments all had to do with using XCOPY to copy one directory with several files and subdirectories. The experiments consisted of 10 cases. All 10 cases were attempting to do the same copying operation.
Of the three cases that did copying, they all did the same copying, that is, gave the same results. So in this way can get a copy of directory X. This change in time-date stamps can be awkward for a copy of a directory with a lot of downloaded Web pages: The HTML file of the Web page will have its original time-date stamp, but the corresponding subdirectory for files used by the HTML file will have the time-date stamp of the run of XCOPY.
So, when sorting the copy on time date stamps, all the subdirectories, the HTML files and the corresponding subdirectories, e. Hierarchical file systems go way back, IIRC to Multics at MIT in , and since then lots of people have recognized the two cases, given a directory X, i copy directory X and all its contents and ii copy all the contents of X but not directory X itself. So, the results of the 10 cases are below.
