xxcopy ( which is everything xcopy should have been and more) will probably do what you want. There are I think free and for money versions. Dim memory suggests that later versions don't want you to do network copies with the free version but that this was not a restriction with older versions.). A look at the version on this laptop shows it is dated 31 January 2001. Version 2.44.4. I dont know when they restricted the capabilities. Licence says its freeware for personal use. Asks you to register for use in a coporate environment.
