How to make VBScript copy permissions along with files
This is all in Windows XP utilizing VBScript.
I have a directory with several files inside. The files have varying permissions set. I need to be able to copy the files to a new directory while retaining the permissions. Using the script below the copy works fine but the permissions are overwritten by the new parent folder.
I am aware of xcopy but I am unsure how to make it work within the script. Using robocopy is a slight possibility but should be avoided if at all possible. Other utilities are out of the question due to network contraints.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dim CopyFromPath, CopyToPath
Const WINDOW_HANDLE = 0
Const NO_OPTIONS = 0
Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(WINDOW_HANDLE,"Select folder to copy:",NO_OPTIONS,ssfDRIVES)
if (not objFolder is nothing) then
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
CopyFromPath = objFo开发者_开发技巧lderItem.Path
else
Set objShell = nothing
WScript.Quit(0)
end if
Set objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(WINDOW_HANDLE, "Where should the folder be copied to?:", NO_OPTIONS, ssfDRIVES)
if (not objFolder is nothing) then
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
CopyToPath = objFolderItem.Path
else
Set objShell = nothing
WScript.Quit(0)
end if
Set objFolder = nothing
Set objFolderItem = nothing
Set objShell = nothing
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile CopyFromPath & "\*.*", CopyToPath & "\", OverwriteExisting
msgbox "The folder has now been copied to " & CopyToPath
xcopy is a good idea for it.
An example to how make it work within vbscript.
Set oWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oWSHShell.Exec "xcopy C:\source C:\destination /O /X /H /K /Y"
Set oWSHShell = Nothing
