VB – Copying Directories

Why Trust Us

Question:
is there a way I can programmatically copy directories from one drive to another?

Answer:
The easiest way to do it is by using the File Scripting objects exposed by Microsoft Scripting Runtime (SCRRUN.dll) that shipped with VB6. It can be used from VB5: simply reference it in the References dialog. It exposes Folder and File objects that have a Copy method. In addition, The FileSystemObject has a CopyFolder/File method that can copy multiple folders and files.
