I'm trying to make a batch file to copy a folder and all of its files and sub-folders, but I can't figure out how to do it since the copy command only copies files. Does anyone know how I can do this?

You are going to want to use the XCOPY command with the /y /e or /s switches. Probably something like this:


XCOPY [source] [destination] /Y /E

If you don't want to copy empty directories, then replace /E with /S.
