copy subfolder within a parent directory

[anmac1789]

How do I copy a subfolder within a folder ? is it even possible with some external commands? for example, I want to copy the DCIM folder in C:\DCIM to C:\LAPTOP. How do I do that ?

Hi do you mean copying
C:\DCIM to C:\LAPTOP\DCIM ?

Actually, when i select "include subfolders" box, I get an error message that the subfolder DCIM is a subfolder within C:\LAPTOP. So what can I do in this case?

[TGRMN Software]

What sources / targets are you using?

[anmac1789]

I'm using:

source: C:\
target: C:\LAPTOP

Hi, that would not work if subfolders are included, as it would copy c: with subfolders into c:\laptop\ but c:\laptop is a subfolder of c:\ already.

so what is the workaround ?

Do you want to copy the C:\ drive somewhere?

[anmac1789]

No i was just wondering if there is a special script or method I can use to copt the parent directory also

[TGRMN Software]

You could copy c:\ to a different drive like x:\c-drive\
or
C:\DCIM to C:\LAPTOP\DCIM\

Usually, you pre-create the empty source/target folders or use the option to 'create root source/target folders if they do not exist'

yes but can this retain the original date and time of the parent folder?
