Does anyone know there is a way op doing DIR *.* /S from DOS in VDS?
So that you get all the specified files that are in a directory incl subdirs

You prolly allready knew XP and VDS Pipe way...

I tried using the Pipe today for this and I don't think the buffer is big enough to hold that much information. Anyway I got mixed results from the use of PIPE. Also for large harddrives this method is very slow with or without PIPE. I would suggest using the Win32 API but I don't have time to write an example right now. Maybe one of the other API knowledgable people could write something for ya that would give you the same results just a bit faster. (ie...FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, and FindClose).

That would be great, because I been wanting a zippier way. I forgot to mention the Pipe just great for doing individual folders (smaller jobs).
