XXCOPY is protocol-neutral. That is, XXCOPY does not check
which network protocol is being used. It accesses files
and directories using the following Win32 APIs.

FindFirstFile()
FindNextFile()
GetFileAttributes()
CreateFile()
CloseHandle()
ReadFile()
WriteFile()
CopyFile()
MoveFile()
DeleteFile()
RemoveDirectory()

and their variations. This is not an exhaustive list
but you get the idea. Generally speaking, when the DIR and
COPY command can access the files/directories, XXCOPY should
be able to do its job. As a matter of fact, the DIR and COPY
command should be used whenever you are not sure if the
remote volume is suitable for XXCOPY operations.
