Plugin to copy folder and subfolders but not files

Post by *CharlesF »

Has anyone come across a plugin which would allow me to replicate a dir structure (i.e., copy folder and its subfolders from on panel to another but not copy the files).

Thanks.

Regards,
Charles

Hi Charles,

No need for plugin for such situations, you can simply use TC's native Copy dialog.
Just press F5, and type a single dot "." (without quotes) to the "Only files of this type:" combobox - it will filter out all the files for sure.

No need for a plugin ;)
Just use the standard copy, but enter something not existing like "*.neverever" at "Only files of this type" field

Usually I type something like dflkgjdfklg into that field when I need to copy just folders. :D

OK, so "dflkgjdfklg" is the way to go.

Hmmm...is there something simpler to remember? This is not an easy combination. ....Just kidding ;)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

How copy parent folders?

Post by *nn1k3 »

We know that F5 will copy the folder that I am "in" and its subfolders.

But suppose I want to copy the names of the parent folders as well.

In other words, suppose for example that I am "in" folder "e" of C:/a/b/c/d/e/f/g. Then F5 will copy e/f/g.
But I want to copy C:/a/b/c/d/e/f/g. If I go up to the root I can copy C:/a/b/c/d/e/f/g but then I would also copy all the other folders that I don't want like C:/a2/b2 etc etc.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi,
I use DirCopy plugin, specifically for copying (sub)folders.
Works great for me.
