in reference to this How can I copy files from A to B, only including files that exist in B?. How can i copy files from A to C only including files that exist in B.

Folder "A" (C:\)              Folder "B" (D:\)   Folder "C"(E:\)
File 1                          File 1               
File 2                          File 3 
File 3                          File 4
File 4                          File 6
File 5                          File 7

Folder C is currently empty. So in my case I'd like to copy only File 1, File 3 and File 4 to Folder C. File 2, File 5, File 6 and File 7 must be ignored. The answer for the reference question was to use

robocopy C:\ D:\ /S /XL

but this copies the three files from A to B, i want the three files to be copied to C.

Is what i am asking possible?

very simple follow this steps:

  1. Make 2 new folders D and E.
  2. Copy all the files of A into D and B into E.
  3. Select all files of D and cut it.
  4. Paste these files into E. By doing this the files which are already exist in folder E for that windows ask you what to do for that files. You have to skip the cut operation for that files.
  5. The remaining files in folder D are the files that you want to copy in folder C.
