Does xcopy have an issue with a dollar sign?
Hi. I'm using xcopy on Windows XP and faced with a problem when trying to retrieve files from network share by using this command: \\fas\install$\Databases\Oracle\OraClient_10.2.0.3\client\Disk1\ D:\Temp\ /E and cmd says me, that's incorrect path. I guess, it's due a dollar sign, but maybe it's wrong. Anyway, how to fix it?

XCOPY has no problems with admin shares.

This isn't a XCOPY support forum though.

Works without issue. Ask in the platform forum and don't forget to post the error message.
