To Backup, Copy Files or Move Files
- Simply select the files and/or folders you want to copy
- Normally use either the
Actions | Backup if Newer...
or Actions | Copy To... command from the main
menu.
- Tell FileBoss the destination folder for the selected items.
- Optionally specify any particular conditions or actions
- Click
OK
And don't forget that this is in addition to FileBoss's
sophisticated extensions to Drag & Drop, FileBoss's unique Drop
Zones, Updating, Quick Merging and so much more.

Simple and Advanced Copy File Command Modes
Simple File Copy
Optional File patterns to include/exclude
In the above example all files would be
copied except those with bak and
tmp extensions and those with
names starting with a tilde (~).
Separate multiple patterns with semi-colons, commas or bar characters (
; , | ) and precede
patterns to be excluded with a minus sign (-).
If no patterns are entered all is assumed
(i.e. leaving the field blank is the same as entering a
* or the traditional
*.*).
Note that these patterns only affect file
in subfolders. Files directly selected will be copied no matter what
patterns are entered.
Advanced File Copy
If you want to quickly copy a bunch of files
without worrying about any advanced settings just close up (or leave
closed-up) the dialog by pressing the
Simple button (if the
dialog is already closed up the button will read
Advanced). Like all other
expanding dialogs in FileBoss
this copy files dialog reverts to default options when it is close
up. So you don't have to worry about some option being set that you
can't even see.
Advanced Hint:
The default options for copying
are can be set to your particular preferences so that when the
dialog is closed up it will set the hidden options to the defaults
you have specified.
