Ignore Error while copying files

Im trying to copy several files from one computer in a network to this one.
It includes several music and data files (more than 600 files). I select all
on the source folder then copy and paste to the new folder in this pc.

While copying the files, I encounter errors for some files saying error
copying - access and denied. I closed all applications and even logged off
on the other computer without turning it off to make sure that the file is
not in use by another program. After the error I then have to reselect the
files and perform another copy and paste, and so forth.

Is there a way for me to set windows to ignore these errors and go on
copying the good files then possibly, just give me a report on which were the
bad ones?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Use FileSync instead. Instead of failing, except in extreme cases, it will
not only go to the next file, but will actually *make a list* of what it
can't copy, and on subsequent passes, will ignore the files that did copy.

Access Denied messages may also indicate permissions issues, particularly if
those files aren't in a folder assigned to *your* account. You have to
either Take Ownership or explicitly grant permissions from the other
account.
