XCopy won't copy the subfolders and if it does, they're empty

I have a list of 98 files with their exact directory. I want to copy said files to a new location, so I thought Xcopy would work for that but apparently not.

The best result I could get was SOME of the subfolders would be created, but ALL of the files would be placed into the root destination directory and NOT in their subfolders so every subfolder in the destination was just empty and it only grabbed some of the subfolders for whatever reason.

This is an example of my Xcopy code for one of the 98 files:

xcopy "F:\Docs\Unreal Projects\Racer_Backup_2022_01_04\Content\1_Project\Meshes\Prefabs\CharacterShowcase_PF.uasset" "F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles\" /e /i I've also tried other switches like /t /s etc. but it doesn't make a difference.

I thought this would create the folders: Docs\Unreal Projects\Racer_Backup_2022_01_04\Content\1_Project\Meshes\Prefabs\ in the destination, but it doesn't. At best it only goes back one subfolder but places the file in the root F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles". At worst, it doesn't even take the first subfolder and still places the files in F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles\

Any idea of a way to fix my Xcopy code?

I have attached batch script which can total copy first and then incrementally, it just copies the new files and changed files.

Hi @TorQueMoD.
...Hope this helps,

Thanks James. I'm noticing that you've removed the specific file name from the item path. There are actually multiple files in the folder, and I want to target just one file specifically. Is this possible with Copy Item, or do I have to grab everything in the folder?

@FreeBooter - I can't download the file. It says "Failed - Forbidden"

did you try xcopy /cheriky

It could be your antivirus causing download problem, i will upload script place in .Zip archive.

I think it would be xcopy "F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles" "D:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles" /e /i

I dont know what he is trying to do

xcopy /cherikys "F:\Docs" "F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles\Docs"

would result in this:

"F:\Desktop2020\ModifiedFiles\Docs\Unreal Projects\Racer_Backup_2022_01_04\Content\1_Project\Meshes\Prefabs\CharacterShowcase_PF.uasset"

copies all the subfolders and files from under "F:\Docs" but its not clear if he wants all the subfolders copied and only that one file ( in case there are many other files )

@SIW2 cool didn't know you could use the xcopy switches like that "xcopy /cherikys" I was wondering if they added a new switch to xcopy I didn't know about...
