All,

 

I have been having some bad experiences with copying directories. I am currently using system(xcopy /e source destination). Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't which landed me here. I am trying to get a simple test working to emulate this with the boost libs. I have only been coding in C++ for two weeks. So I accept all suggestions and critisim.

 

Also if anyone had any insight into the security implications of the xcopy system call vs. the boost filesystem lib that would be helpful.

 

Thanks in advance,

Dj
