i need some help with an assignment question. I created 3 directories on my disc named data, docs, and progrmas. I went into the professors folder and copied files into the respective folders using the COPY command. What I need to do now is use the XCOPY command "once" to do all the copies that I performed above. any help?

The professors folder???

ya, the professor has his folder or drive space on the school network with the files that I copied in that folder.

You need to give some infor on the directory structure of the "professor's" folders. Reply by email for help.

His sub-directory is named smith on the I: drive of the school network, e.g. I:smith\docs etc

xcopy source destination /e/s e.g. xcopy I:\smith\docs\*.* c:\ /e/s
