+Known issues:

-Arguments:
-/ext:<extension list=""> - only copy files whos extensions match the comma separated list
-/f - attempt to copy locked files with Volume Shadow Copy
-/v - verify the files after copying - skipped files attempt to verify
-/flat - copy all files to the output directory (no folder structure)
-/h0 - don't copy hidden or system files or folders
-/hd0 - don't copy hidden or system directories or their contents
-/hf0 - don't copy hidden or system files
-/e0 - don't copy empty folders
-/p - copy file/folder permissions
-/ps - copy permissions without inheritance from destinaiton folder
-/prompt - enable prompting if current user doesn't have permissions
-/so - copy directory structure only
-/t0 - don't preserve any file times (same as /tw0 /ta0 /tc0)
-/tw0 - don't preserve last written times
-/ta0 - don't preserve last accessed times
-/tc0 - don't preserve creation times
-/r - replace existing files
-/dd - create a bit stream backup of a drive
-/listvols - list valid volumes for /dd switch
-/listdrives - list valid physical drives for /dd switch
-/hash - computes a hash list for a file or all files in directory
-        no destination needed if input a is file
-/rhash - computes a reporting hash for top level verification
+Known reporting issues with /e0 switch - logs appear wrong things are still copied
+
+Examples:
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files/folders copied into it
+preserving timestamps and attributes - log file stored at C:\Destination
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /ext:xlsx,txt H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files with txt or xlsx extensions 
+and all folders copied into it preserving timestamps and attributes - log file 
+stored at C:\Destination
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files and non-empty folders copied into it
+preserving timestamps and attributes - log file stored at C:\Destination
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /ext:xlsx,txt /e0 H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files with txt or xlsx extensions 
+and all folders copied into it preserving timestamps and attributes - log file 
+stored at C:\Destination 
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /regx:*.log H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files matching regex 
+and all folders copied into it preserving timestamps and attributes - log file 
+stored at C:\Destination 
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /v H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files/folders copied into it
+preserving timestamps and attributes - log file stored at C:\Destination - hash
+verification for each file stored at C:\Destination
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /flat H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: all files copied into C:\Destination
+preserving timestamps and attributes - log file stored at C:\Destination files with same
+name have unique numbers appended to filename.

+End Result: HashMe.txt.hash created alongside file
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /hash H:\test C:\log.txt

+End Result: Hashes all files in H:\test and logs results to HashList.txt in C:\Destination
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /v /rhash H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: C:\Destination\test created : all files/folders copied into it
+preserving timestamps and attributes - log file stored at C:\Destination - hash
+verification for each file stored at C:\Destination - reporting hash (hash of all hash values)
+stored in log - useful for forms etc

+End Result: Copies file/folder permissions (without! destination inheritance) otherwise same 
+as example 1
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /prompt H:\test C:\Destination
+End result: Same as example 1 except a prompt appears for files that can't be accessed by the 
+running user. Options to copy as owner, reset password then copy, or skip.
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /so H:\test C:\Destination
+End result: Only copies the directory structure, no files
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /t0 H:\test C:\Destination
+End result: Doesn't preserve any timestamps - preserves attributes still
+

+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /ta0 H:\test C:\Destination
+End result: Doesn't preserve last accessed timestamps - preserves attributes and other timestamps still
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /tc0 H:\test C:\Destination
+End result: Doesn't preserve created timestamps - preserves attributes and other timestamps still
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /r H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: Same as example 1 except files existing in destination are not skipped but replaced
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /list H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: Creates a file listing csv in C:\Destination containing paths and metadata info
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /chkp H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: Goes through the motions of copying without actually copying and checks for permissions and 
+other errors. Will also provide a list of users who control files you can't access
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /listvols
+End Result: Displays a list of volumns that can be the source of a /dd command
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /listdrives
+End Result: Displays a list of physical disks that can be the source of a /dd command
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /tovmdk H:\test C:\Destination
+End Result: Creates a vmdk file for the DD image in H:\test and places it in C:\Destination
+NOTE: Works best when DD files are the only files in the source path (no logs etc) but should work if
+logs are there
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd PhysicalDrive7 C:\Destination
+End Result: Creates a bit copy (dd image) of PhysicalDrive7 split into 2 GB chunks and
+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd /out:split PhysicalDrive7 C:\Destination
+End Result: Creates a bit copy (dd image) of PhysicalDrive7 split into 2 GB chunks and
+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename

+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd D: C:\Destination

+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd /out:split D: C:\Destination
+End Result: Creates a bit copy (dd image) of D volume split into 2 GB chunks and
+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd /out:iso D: C:\Destination

+places them in C:\Destination after prompting for a filename
+
+Command: filecopytool.exe /dd /out:single D: C:\Destination

 Requirements for FileCopyTool: .Net 2.0 Framework or higher

-Default settings: Preserves all time-stamps and attributes of the files / folders copied, files already existing in destination are skipped, if verifying - skipped files are hashed
-
-Hashing Examples (no copying):
------
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /hash C:\path\test.txt
-Result: hashes the file and places the result in C:\path\test.txt.hash
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /hash C:\path\testfolder C:\path\destination
-Result: hashes all files in C:\path\testfolder and creates a list in C:\path\destination
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /hash /rhash C:\path\testfolder C:\path\destination
-Result: hashes all files in C:\path\testfolder and creates a list in C:\path\destination, then creates a reporting hash (hash of all hashes)
-
-Copy Examples:
------
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe C:\path\test.txt C:\path\destination
-Result: Copies test.txt to C:\path\destination using default settings and creates log in C:\path\destination
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /v C:\path\test.txt C:\path\destination
-Result: Copies test.txt to C:\path\destination using default settings, creates log in C:\path\destination, and creates a file hash verification list in C:\path\destination
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /v /rhash C:\path\test.txt C:\path\destination
-Result: Copies test.txt to C:\path\destination using default settings, creates log in C:\path\destination, creates a file hash verification list in C:\path\destination, and creates a verification hash of files copied (listed in log)
-
-dd Copy examples:
------
-
-Example: filecopytool.exe /dd C:\ G:\output\filename
-Result: Creates a DD (bit stream) image starting with file name "filename.001" in G:\output\, broken into 2 GB chunks.
-
-Exmaple: filecopytool.exe /dd PhysicalDisk0 G:\output\
-Result: Program will prompt for a file name then creates a DD (bit stream) image with the name you typed  in G:\output\, broken into 2 Gb chunks.
