Hello

I'm searching a freeware giving possibility from DOS command to execute
functions equivalent to copy or xcopy, but with display of progress bar, and
if possible remainig time. These information are very useful for big files.

Or is it possible to lauch, from a DOS command, copy/paste function of
Windows ?

Thanks for your replies.

My D-Browse program displays a progress bar. It's primarily for use in
plain DOS but it can be used in Windows 9X/ME. The file system must be
FAT16 or 32.

By the way, you D-B cannot access drives attached to PCI-IDE
controllers

Copy Handler does just that. I don't have a link; Google it. It
provides better support for copy/moving large files and displays a
progress bars. I use it for transferring large files to my external
because the normal copy function in XP sometimes chokes on large files.

xxcopy has a progress bar option http://www.xxcopy.com/

xxcopy is exactly what I need.

But in the freeware version, copying files through LAN is OK, but displays a
message saying that this type of operation is for pro version.

In a batch file, this message breaks automatic execution of xxcopy ...

Pro version is not freeware, and price is not very small !

Thanks for your idea.

Hello

I need this function for DOS command under Windows XP (NTFS, not FAT16 or
32).

Thanks.

IIRC, you don't get this warning if you map a drive letter to the
network drive, and copy to or from that driver letter, rather than
using UNC notation.

OTOH, they have changed this in current versions, it's been a while
since I used xxcopy.

is there a "more freeware" program as good as xxcopy ?

As good at doing what?

XXCopy can do lots of things, and there's nothing else that I know of
that will do all those things. But there are better programs, IMO, for
doing specific tasks, such as directory synchronization, file
renaming, file deleting, etc.
