Duplicate Folder Structures in Seconds
Need to duplicate a directory structure without copying the files? TreeCopy makes it quick and effortless. Whether you are setting up a backup framework, creating test environments, or organizing empty folder structures for a new project, TreeCopy copies only the directories -- no files included.
Simply select a source directory and a destination, and TreeCopy replicates the entire folder hierarchy. It also includes full command-line support for scripted and automated workflows, making it a valuable tool for developers and IT administrators alike.
Who Is This For?
- Developers -- Quickly recreate directory structures for test environments, template projects, or migration preparation.

Command Line Usage
treecopy.exe {source directory} {destination directory}
- Source directory -- The directory structure you want to copy.
- Destination directory -- Where the empty folder structure will be created. If omitted, the application directory is used.
Example:
treecopy.exe D:\InetPub\wwwroot\ F:\backups\wwwroot\
Any errors during command-line processing are written to an errors.log file in the application directory.
Good to Know
Directories containing invalid Windows characters (/ \ : * ? " < > |) will not be copied. Additionally, very deep directory structures may reach the maximum Windows path length limit.
