title: Copying a mix of files and directories with Robocopy
body: <p>If I copy files with robocopy and specify a directory name, robocopy seems to treat the directory as a file.  I have a bat file with a mix of files and directories specified.</p>
  
  <pre><code>set "udate=%date:~6,4%%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2%"
  set working="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal"
  set live="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\live"              
  
  robocopy    %working%   %live%  addpages.php    /e /ndl /MAXAGE:%udate%
  robocopy    %working%   %live%  images  /e /ndl /MAXAGE:%udate%
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are more than 60 calls to robocopy in that bat file for files and for directories.  In the sample shown, addpages.php is a file, images is a directory.  Does robocopy need more information to copy directories?</p>
