Yes Xcopy can do this ... so can ANY variant of Copy, including drag 'n'
drop or Copy and Paste as long as the destination supports files of this
size. In the case of a single 8GB file, I'm not sure there is an advantage
to using Xcopy over any other method.
Yes, xcopy has many advantages (due to switches)
but the most relevant are likely:
/v - verify
/c - continue on error (if copying more than one file)
/o - ownership and permission ACLs
/x - like /o but includes auditing ACLs too
And for big files across net the most important may be (ta-da):
/z - network restartable mode
Xcopy /? is worth checking from time to time because this
old program has received new capabilities in recent years
that may surprise even command line commandos. <Grin>
