Try:

Lines that don't begin with two spaces have wrapped accidentally
====Begin cut-and-paste (omit this line)
@ECHO OFF
FOR /R C:\ %%F IN (*.XLS) DO (
REM To execute (instead of view) command, remove ECHO/{demo} below
ECHO/{demo}COPY "%%F" "U:\%%~nxF"
)

====End cut-and-paste (omit this line)

Note: In the Batch file shown, some commands generated are merely
ECHOed, not executed. This is so that you can see them, and judge
whether or not commands you see are indeed doing exactly what you
want. When you are satisfied with the inactive Batch commands you
see ECHOed with a "{demo}" prefix (to make it clear that they are
NOT being executed), remove the ECHO/{demo} to activate commands.
These commands will do nothing until this ECHO/{demo} is removed.

Suppose these two files exist on your computer: "C:\one\duplicate.xls" and
"C:\two\duplicate.xls"; which ONE of these two would you prefer to copy to
"U:\folder\"?

Norbert,

FYI - There is xcopy and robocopy with windows servers too. Robocopy is
comparable to xxcopy.
