How to determine/ignore which file stops COPYFILE.

I am copying a folder from one server to another.

I am pretty sure that a locked file is causing the COPYFILE to end.

How do I determine the file and/or ignore the lock?

Instead of copying the entire folder, you could use GetFileList and loop through each file in the folder, copying one at a time. Then if one fails, the others will still copy, as you are copying them separately.

If you need to copy many files and can skip locked files, you might try Unstoppable Copier from here: http://www.roadkil.net/download.php?Fil ... ogramID=29

OK - perhaps I was loose in specifics.

I am doing a "...\Apps\*.*" type copy with many sub-folders. I don't think GetFileList would work?

You could output TREE to a file, use RegEx to parse it to get the full path\filenames, and write that to a file and read through the list, doing a CopyFile on each one. Test for CopyFile success after each Copy using IfFileExists on destination folder.
