Copy content from subfolder using DOS

I believe you need to use xcopy to copy the subdirectories

and from memory I would say

xcopy /E c:\toto\*.* d:\"your backup folder"

or /s if you don't want the empty directories

it should then copy all the subdirectories of toto and the files into the backup folder
but I don't know if that's exactly what you want to do

With PowerShell, you can use the -container parameter of copy-item:

copy-item source destination -recurse -container:$false

The line above will copy all files from <source> "flat" into the
<destination> directory. The only downside is that it will also recreate the directories
that are at the root of <source> (even though these directories will appear empty
in <destination>, all files being copied to the root of
<destination>).

Another way to proceed that does not have this drawback:

dir source -recurse | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | foreach {copy $_.fullname
destination}

or

XCOPY with a FOR.

Example:
FOR /R c:\rsource %%a IN (.) DO XCOPY %%a c:\rdestination /Y

to be done in a batch

here is what should allow you to do what you want

please confirm whether this is ok or not so that I can make it available on my site

Super, thanks! The solution was that! Here is my bat file:

FOR /R C:\RepSource %%a IN (.) DO XCOPY %%a C:\RepArrive /Y
pause

the pause is probably unnecessary
Thanks a lot =)

Edit: actually, I lost 100MB between the source and destination directories... I'll look for the problem...
Edit2: I started with 719 items and ended up with 588... is there an option to rename instead of deleting in case of the same name? Because I think the problem comes from files with the same name...
