I cant seem to get the security piece to work. Tried running with variations of "/ca /csa /ca /csd" and "/ca /csa /csd" but the ACL info does not copy over. Also the /cnf doesnt work as the help file indicates. if you use the /cnf param. it will not copy empty folders. Help file says this is for "Turn off popup system error dialog" Anyone have a fix for ACL info? Permissions are key for me. Works great for handling large qty of files.

Maybe some more testing is in order - either which way the copying speeds are awesome.

I am more interested in the NIC now. As you might be able to calculate 100Mbps ethernet can only transfer at most 12MB/s that's 600MBs in 50 sec - hardware limitation. Are you saying Richcopy can transfer faster than that? If not you have to put this in a better way. <cite> I copied 203 image files for a grand total of 2.48 GB and I was able to copy it to a different hard drive on my local machine in about 50 seconds. I copied the same data to a network folder also under 1 minute! That’s right it took almost the same time to copy to a local drive as it did to my network drive connected via 10/100 Ethernet NIC. </cite> 2.48Gb in 50 sec = 50MB/s

It works great in Vista Ultimate x32 and x64, but I had some trouble with it on a customer's Vista Home Premium machine. Nice thing about TeraCopy is that it replaces the native Windows copy and paste, so I can simply Ctrl + C (or X) and Ctrl + V as usual. It also goes into the right-click context menu for when I drag files. I’ve been using TeraCopy from Code Sector (www.codesector.com).

I have it set up so I just plug in my external hard drive, have it autorun a .bat file that runs a command line process that FastCopy handles and it runs fast and in the background. Might have to try this one out to see how it compares. Thanks. I have had the best success with a program called FastCopy.

I have transfered gigs in that same time frame it is almost unbelievable. What is the speed of your drive? Sata, Ide 7200, higher lower? I saw better times than that doing xfers across the net or over a vpn! How many files were in that copy? I have transfered gigs in that same time frame it is almost unbelievable.
