Try googling "java execute system command", and you'll find many useful pages.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("XCOPY /S D:\\*.* C:\\put\\it\\here\\*.*");

Use FileUtils().copyDirectoryToDirectory() from Jakarta Commons.

Don't use a shell command for doing the copy as suggested above. XCOPY only works for MS-DOS (windows), but not for apple, unix, mobile phones etc.
A great effort was done to make Java operating-system -independent, so don't cripple it!

chaarmann,

You are, indeed, right in regard to operating systems.

Thanks.
