xcopy limitations

by dmkservices . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

Is there a limitation with xcopy with respect to file/path lengths? I’m trying to generate a batch file to copy data leaving permissions intact however my batch file isn’t taking all of the data. It seems after approx. 260 characters it moves on to the next directory that is within the 260 limit leaving several directories not being copied to the new location. Any suggestions? Thanks!
