Give a look to robocopy or xxcopy and create your batch using it.
With TC is is also possible to synchonize, copy only newest file, ...

You could use 'download lists'.

Example: Create a backup of the windows directory, overwriting all older files, no confirmation before overwriting Read only/Hidden/System files, skip all which cannot be opened for reading

* Create a file with the following contents.

Code: Select all

copyflags:243
copy:c:\windows -> i:\windows 

* Make the file read only so it won't be changed by TC and you can use the file more than once.

* Execute the list by using menu option Net/"FTP Download From List".

and almost exactly what I needed...

Can this 'download list' command be executed via .bat file ?

or

Can I define a shortcut to run this 'download list' command (so I do not need to type again the name of the file )

Thank you !!!

No.

You can assign cm_FtpDownloadList to a shortcut key, but you would still need to enter the name. The last used name is remembered and stored in wincmd.ini.

The last used name is remembered and stored in wincmd.ini.

So it may be written to INI just before executing cm_FtpDownloadList e.g. TCFS2 may be used to write that string into INI and then execute cm_FtpDownloadList.
