I think you can use quote &quot;&quot;&nbsp;like<br />
<br />
xcopy &quot;c:\program files\tara tatata\*.*&quot; c:\here
</div>


I think you can use quote "" like

xcopy "c:\program files\tara tatata\*.*" c:\here

I'm trying to set up a batch file for a user that will copy several folders from thier pc to another location on a server. This batch file would be run once a week and any previous information on the server would be overwritten.<br />
<br />
I'm having a couple of problems. The first is that i was using the COPY command but it was only copying the files and not the directories. I believe the XCOPY command should sort this out (with some switches). The second is that the naming convention of the files &amp;&nbsp;folders that they need to copy do not follow the DOS naming convention.<br />
<br />
Is there a batch/VB script that can do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks for you help<br />

Batch file to copy directories.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
