Xcopy cannt copy encrypted file folders to network share

[deanc]

I use Xcopy with /g switch to copy my encrypted files/folder and
subfolders underneath to network share. Net share is not
encryption-enabled. Xcopy now behaves differently than it copies
non-encrypted file folders to network share. It can't create the folder
and the subfolders on the network share.

Is there any workaround for this problem? For example, is there any VB
script to copy encrypted folders and files to network?

Thanks,

Dean

Hi

See if Robocopy.exe does the job.

Robocopy.exe is in the free Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later, the individual files can
then be copied to other computers if needed)

Robocopy.exe will work fine on Win2k, WinXP and Win2k3 Server.

See rktools.chm and robocopy.doc for documentation for Robocopy.exe.
