Question

I am using Powershell and am trying to forcefully copy folder/files without erasing any extra files in existing destination folders. I am stuck trying to get a working command.

Below is my code, any suggestions on how to fix this?

Copy-Item -Force -Recurse  –Verbose $releaseDirectory -Destination $sitePath 

Answer 1

you need to be sure that

$realeseDirectory 

is something like

c:\releasedirectory\*

Copy-item never delete extra files or folders in destination, but with -force it will owerwrite if file already exists
