Robocopy copy directory instead of just its content

Question

Simple question, no obvious solution. I have a folder called Test on the C drive (C:\Test). I have a folder called Test 2 on the D drive (D:\Test2). I want to robocopy the Test folder to the Test2 folder.

If I robocopy /e C:\Test D:\Test2\ I end up copying the content of folder Test instead of the folder and its content (however, if, in Bash, I cp -a folder1 folder2/, I get folder1 in folder2). D:\Test2 will not have a folder called Test (and its content). It will have the content of folder Test, and the actual first folder is not copied.

What am I doing wrong? Robocopy - Copy directory into another directory does not address this issue.

Answer 1

You need to append the source folder name to the destination path:

robocopy /e C:\Test D:\Test2\Test
