Command Line Usage

treecopy.exe {source directory} {destination directory}

• Source directory -- The directory structure you want to copy.
• Destination directory -- Where the empty folder structure will be created. If omitted, the application directory is used.

Example:

treecopy.exe D:\InetPub\wwwroot\ F:\backups\wwwroot\

Any errors during command-line processing are written to an errors.log file in the application directory.

Good to Know

Directories containing invalid Windows characters (/ \ : * ? " < > |) will not be copied. Additionally, very deep directory structures may reach the maximum Windows path length limit.
