Quick Start: To Copy or Move Files

First select the files you want to Copy or Move.
This action is applied to selected files and folders. If no folders or files have been selected the menu command will be unavailable.
(Click here to find out more about FileBoss's advanced selection methods.)

Open the Copy / Move Command Dialog

Select Actions | Backup if Newer... or (Ctrl+Shift+F7) from the main menu to open the Backup dialog.
Select Actions | Copy To... or Actions | Move To... from the main menu

Enter the Destination Folder

Enter the folder to which you want to copy the files. If you have used the dialog before you can select a previous destination from the drop down list box.

Optionally Enter Files to Copy (or not to be Copied)

To copy all files leave the Patterns field blank or enter and asterisk (*).
To copy only particular files specify one or more file patterns. Separate multiple patterns with the bar character (|), e.g. *.htm | *.html | *.css.
To prevent certain files from being copied enter their pattern(s) preceding each with a minus sign, e.g. -*.bak | -*.tmp | -~*.
You can even combine files to copy and files to exclude, e.g. *.htm | *.html | *.css | -~* (note that order in which the file patterns are listed is not significant).

Click the OK button and FileBoss will start the copying and display a progress window.
