How to integrate the Fast Copy program with Total COmmander?

[graham_k]

I have been using TeraCopy for years, but now that I am backing up TeraByte disks I checked and many sites say that Fast Copy http://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en is the fastet for sheer speed, even if the GUI is not the best.

It does have a command line option; does anyone know how I can integrate it with TC?

Thanks in advance

Hi Graham,

I've made a buttonbar item for FastCopy and also one for FastCopy/Move.

For Copy:
Command: <Choose path>\FastCopy.exe /auto_close /open_window /cmd=update /estimate
Parameters: %P%S /to="%T"

For Move:
Command: <Choose path>\FastCopy.exe /auto_close /open_window /cmd=move /estimate
Parameters: %P%S /to="%T"

The only thing to do is select the files to copy or move (make sure the destination is on the other panel) and use the button. You can even do a repetitive task; if you select a new bunch of files in anoher folder and copy/move, the new FastCopy instance will wait until the first instance has finished.

HTH,

Regards, EricB

Thank you so very much!!

I also plan to abandon my backup program and use Fast Copy command line with the Widonws Task Scheduler for backups; that's how impressed I am with it's speed.

Thanks again for the buttons

I've installed portable copies of both Fast & Tera Copy here on a USB
stick and integrated them both into TC. Then I've done a test
transferring 262MB of files from a very slow networked drive to the
local drive using both. TeraCopy is much faster than FastCopy in this
test.
