Copy Files

Copies files on a server.

Script usage:

Copy-Files(
	[Include: <@(text)>],
	[Exclude: <@(text)>],
	[From: <text>],
	To: <text>,
	[Verbose: <true/false>],
	[Overwrite: <true/false>],
	[RenameFrom: <text>],
	[RenameTo: <text>],
	[RenameRegex: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Files::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.

Arguments:

Name	Format	Script Usage	Usage Notes
Include	@(text)	Include	See KB#1119 to learn more about masking syntax.
Exclude	@(text)	Exclude	See KB#1119 to learn more about masking syntax.
Source directory	text	From
☆ Target directory	text	To	This argument is required.
Verbose	true/false	Verbose
Overwrite target files	true/false	Overwrite
Rename from	text	RenameFrom
Rename to	text	RenameTo
Use regular expression	true/false	RenameRegex

Example:

# copy all files and all subdirectories beneath it to the target,
# and log each individual file that is copied, and overwrite any files
Copy-Files(
    From: E:\Source,
    To: F:\Target,
    Include: **,
    Verbose: true,
    Overwrite: true
);
