Try googling "java execute system command", and you'll find many useful pages.

Runtime.getRunt ime().exec("XCO PY /S D:\\*.* C:\\put\\it\\he re\\*.*");

Use FileUtils().cop yDirectoryToDir ectory() from Jakarta Commons.

Don't use a shell command for doing the copy as suggested above. XCOPY only works for MS-DOS (windows), but not for apple, unix, mobile phones etc.
A great effort was done to make Java operating-system -independent, so don't cripple it!

chaarmann,

You are, indeed, right in regard to operating systems.

Thanks.
