Skip copying files that were unable to be copied and continue with other files.
Simple, free, set and forget, copy utility. When a file can't be copied Ycopy skips it continues with the other files. A printable report is generated of files that were unable to be copied. No more poring over directories and files to find out where the copy was up to, skip the affected files and continue the copy. A real time saver for computer technicians, IT people or anyone routinely faced with this task.
Briliantly simple program to copy where windows won't
DonJuape
Pros
- Easy to use
- Clear summary on what is failed to copy
- Very few (system) files that cannot be accessed (and many more than windows will let you copy)
Cons
- Copies only one folder at the time
Summary
Essential tool
nickrusso
Pros
I have been using it for a long time, and I copy huge amounts of data, folders within folders, etc.
Generates a report of files it cannot copy, usually because the file names/paths are too long. These can be renamed and copied individually if they are important. Also has a copy to clipboard option to save items that were not copied to a text file.
Incredibly simple to use.
Cons
Can't think of any.
Summary
Excellent tool.

Pros
Copies files without pausing for files in use. Prints copies of files which may not have been copied.
Cons
None that I have found.
Summary
Salvation at last!

Pros
Skips corrupted files without halting the whole copy procedure which would then entail searching for the corrupted file to continue.
Cons
Nothing that I found in my usage.
Summary
Salvation in a small program which can save heaps of time!
Fast and Easy Way to Transfer Files from Drives
Jacqueline Goodison
Pros
Highly recommended. I used Y copy to transfer all my files on one drive to a new hard drive to test its capacity, and just by highlighting the drive I was able to do it. The files transferred fast and easy. (130gb around 4 times to a 465 gb drive)
Cons
I would have to use it again to see what limitations it had because I don't remember. But for transferring information from one drive to another it was perfect.
Summary
Excellent tool for transferring whole drives. Wish I found this sooner! I tried other copy programs but they wouldn't let you select an entire drive, or they took too long. This is perfect for whole drive transfers.
Yesss longtime I'm waiting for this tool

A Real Treasure

Pros
I was having problems copying folders with corrupted files, when I remembered seeing this software just yesterday. I sought it out and voila!
<p>
<p>This program is as simple as it gets to solve a vexing problem with trying to copy folders with corrupted files. Windows XP just shuts down when it can't copy a file, leaving the user with a frustrating task that I won't even go into right now, but if you've ever been there, you know and it's free!
