Size(KB) :  1


Thanks,

I found that if I needed to put /ED switch to preserves emtpy 
directories. What I'm trying to accomplish is to remove all files 
older then 30 days from all subdirectories and move them to 
destination folder. I don't want to delete folders though even if 
they are empty.
So far I come up with following command line to accomlish that. Wante 
to check if there is something missing here and it would delete stuff 
which is not intented.

xxcopy e:\inetpub\ftproot\ e:\xxcopy\temp\ /RC/FC/DB#31/S/ED/PD0
