I am trying to synch a WebDAV mapped drive folder (Z:\Images) with a folder on a hard drive on my local computer (E:). Here is the command I am running: xcopy E:\Images Z:\Images /D /E Here is the error message I get: File creation error - The directory is not empty. Unable to create directory - Z:\images 0 File(s) copied I can use xcopy to copy from a local folder to an empty directory on the WebDAV drive. The WebDAV drive works perfectly find when trying to access or modify via Windows Explorer. Also, the xcopy command works fine when using two local folders or when the remote directory is actually empty.

Copies files and directory http://serverfault.com/questions/349733/xcopy-to-webdav-drive-gives-directory-not-empty-error trees.

XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W]
[/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/G] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
[/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]
[/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]

source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies only http://timtrott.co.uk/xcopy-tool/ files with the archive attribute set,
turns off the archive attribute.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string
should be in a separate line in the files. When any of the
strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For
example, specifying a string like obj or .obj will exclude
all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
.obj extension respectively.
/P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination

I need to keep the two sync'ed when files are added/changed on the network folder. I dont care about deletions.   What I have tried file creation is using XCOPY with the /D /E switches and the UNC path to the sharepoint library. The initial copy works great. All of the files and sub-directories are added to the document library. If I change a file in the root directory or add a file to the root directory and run the XCOPY command again the files are updated. file creation error However, if I change/add a file to a sub-directory I receive the following error:   Unable to creae directory - directory is not empty File creation error - cannot create file   If I try the same thing between two network folders it works perfectly and synchronizes all files and directories down to every level. But not when I use a UNC path to a sharepoint directory.   I've also tried using a syncronization tool that we have called SureSync. That does not work either. I receive a "parameter is incorrect" error.   I've checked all security and its all fine.   Does anyone know of a good way to incrementally snychronize a sharepoint document library and a network folder? I do not want to have to delete and then re-copy everything over each time. This directory is about 300MB. After the initial copy I just want to copy the changes. I wanted to set this up to run on a schedule that runs every 15-20 minutes.   Thanks Sunday, July 13, 2008 10:10 AM Reply | Quote Answe
