This executable is called dircopy and can be found in your path on the p670 (volta). Usage Info: dircopy [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST SOURCE is the directory you wish to copy from. DEST is the directory you wish to copy to. Usage Example: [green]dircopy /home/dias/bristol/BIAC/Example.01/Data/Func/20030502_42165 /data/Example.01/42165[/green] Note the following: [list][*]The computer from which you are copying from or to must already be mounted.[/*][*]The destination directory must not exist already.[/*][*]The parent directory for the destination directory must already exist (in the above example,[i]Example.01[/i]).[/*][*]The resulting directory structure (DEST) will be the same as the original (SOURCE) directory structure.[/*][/list]For more help, [green]dircopy -h[/green] at the prompt. For those of you who do not have access to the p670 and are interested in obtaining the source, email me at dias@biac.duke.edu. Cheers, Jimmy [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
