Hello Kan,
I understand the /IP to mean if destination is present. What about if 
source is present?

running
xxcopy z:\ c:\pc1bu /clone
can i somehow with a switch say 
"If the source is present, continue. Otherwise, end"

The problem lies in I am requesting files from the source, which is a 
drive elsewhere on the LAN, to my computer, which is the destination.

I can't specify if the destination is present, since that is the pc 
I'm copying to (mine). I need to determine/specify if the source is 
present.

Thanks for the update on the new switches coming out, 
(/ILS // IF Label Src matches, continue)
Lookng forward to it.
