Copy folders and subfolders but not files

Post by *AnthonyCian »

Hi,

I want to keep the same folder and subfolder structure when copying. However, I do not want the files copied, just the folders. Is there a way to do this?

The only way I can figure is to copy everything over, then go into branch view and delete all the files. This is double action, (copy files than have to delete them again). Like to know if there is a way in 1 sequence action?

TC v7.04a under XP Pro.

Thanks,

PS: This is urgently needed and request a quick reply. It would save me time.

Thanks,

AC

Put |*.* (pipe asterisk dot asterisk) in Only files of this type field in Copy dialogue.

Select the folder to copy, and in the copy dialog that appears, where it says "Only files of this type:" enter something non-existent such as *.!!!
