At least the files can be omitted by using a non existent filename in the target dialog. No idea how to avoid copying the subdirs.

The cleanest way would be a custom selection type, but they are currently not available for the copy operation.

I think TC can't nor the (normal) xcopy version I have, you might try fiddling with rar, it has -r recursive flag; maybe it could help...

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply's , I haven't been able to awnser until now. I don't want to create new dir/s or folder/s, I just want to copy the marked dirs form one partiton to another without subdirs or files. Copy Ex.
c:\files\ex.1 <- marked folder
c:\files\ex.2 <- marked folder
c:\files\ex.3 <- marked folder, then i want to copy them to another hdd without subdirs/files so they are empty on the target hdd, Ex.
e:\files\ex.1 <- copyied dir/folder without subdir/folder
e:\files\ex.2 <- copyied dir/folder without subdir/folder
e:\files\ex.3 <- copyied dir/folder without subdir/folder
There are a lot of folders that i want to do this with and its a heck of work to create dir/folder for eatchone

thanks again

Well I solved the problem on one way and that is to do following. Not sure if this is needed but i didit anyway.
1. copy the file xcopy.exe from windows/system32 if you running 2000/xp for win9x it's windows/command/ to your totcmd dir.
2.Then use commandline in totcmd and type for ex following xcopy *.* /t f:\temp3 it will copy ALL folders without subdirs or files, have not figured out how to do a button for this yet....

the saga continiues....
