This section was added thanks to another website that ranked alternatives to richcopy.Half of the stuff talked in this thread seem over my head, or not my use case. It has actually improved about 10% from RichCopy version 3.5 which already much faster than any other file copy tools.ĭeveloped by Ken Tamaru (Kenzaburo Tamaru) This new version has improved copy performance from its previous version by optimizing all processes involved. This acceleration has been realized by improving network and storage device utilization with technology used for server services. RichCopy is designed to help people who copy huge number of files between storage devices directly or indirectly over the network by accelerating copy performance and shorten the time people has to spend for file copy operation. FTP - have one side of transfer use FTP.Command - Starts a command before or after transfer.Attribute - Compares ‘read-only’, ‘hidden’, ‘archive’ file attributes.Availability in destination - Compare whether file already exists.Date / Time type - which type of time stamp to use.Time stamp - Compare time stamp for files.File size - Compare file sizes before copy.Right click a file, go to properties, and then the security tab.

Security setting - Compare the Windows security settings for each file.These filters can speed up transfers by skipping files that don't need to be transferred.If the “File size” section is set to “different”, only files with different sizes will be copied. Each section is set by default to copy without checking the attribute of the file, “No check”. Each section here says to copy a file only if certain conditions are met. Does not effect how many transfers can operate at onceĬontrols how the job decides whether a file will be copied or not.Said to improve USB drives, and ATA hard drives.Effects only the way the destination is sent the data.Serialize disk access - Whether to write one block of data at a time, or multitask disk writes.Recommend reading the help file, this setting is complicated.Speeds up some transfers but can slow down without a cache to use.Turn off system buffer - Whether to use system cache for copies.Create directory only when it has a child - Does not copy empty folders.Directory creation only - does not copy files, only directories.Ignore READ-ONLY flag - Allows files to be over-written if they exist in destination and are read-only.This also increases the likelihood of errors by a tiny amount.This makes transfers with large files faster, and small files slower.File Copy - Used to ‘segment’ and multi-copy a single file.Directory Copy - The amount of simultaneous transfers to do at once.Good for complex directory structures, useless for simple directory structure.Directory Search - How many threads used to search and queue folders and files.Timer - Starts transfer at a specified time.Wait target - Does not copy until source directories exist.This makes the statistics bar more accurate, and has total %.Preprocess - Searches and queues all files before transfer starts.Trickle - This is apparently defunct, so leave default.Move - Copies files then deletes the source.This has the same effect as deleting the destination before the transfer.Purge - Deletes files from destination if they are not in the source.Default source and destination path - A path to be added to transfer list along with profile.This lets you create new profiles for switching back and forth easier.This list will explain the important parts of the main window. The main window of RichCopy is an overview of the current job’s settings and progress, with basic controls. Windows copy is still the best choice for beginners, or small file copy jobs. The benefits of RichCopy are geared to advanced users. File copy jobs and options can be saved as profiles and resumed or performed again at a later time. Error recovery allows the copy job to continue even if there is an error during the job that would have caused Windows to abort the transfer. RichCopy is intended for large file copy jobs, and offers advanced options that Microsoft Windows copy does not.
