TeraCopy is a Windows copy utility that can help you resume interrupted copying, fix corrupt files, and avoid file copy failures due to network problems. ..
If you need to pause the copy process for any reason, TeraCopy lets you do it with one click. Click again to resume the copy!
TeraCopy can continue to copy files when one file has an issue like already existing in the target directory or not being readable due to corruption. TeraCopy can be set to handle these scenarios with one of several options and can continue copying the rest of the files. After everything is completed, you can fix the issues and recopy only the problem files.
TeraCopy can run a check on the copied files against the source files to verify the accuracy and integrity of the copy. This can help to ensure that the copied files are accurate and up-to-date.
TeraCopy is a fast file copying technology that claims its dynamic buffers and asynchronous copying can reduce copy times.
The Shell Integration feature of TeraCopy allows you to copy items in the Explorer window, as well as right-click and choose TeraCopy from the menu. This makes it easy to copy items around in your work environment, whether you’re working on a project or just trying to keep things organized.
Secondly, you can open it from the command prompt by running the following command: TeraCopy.exe -o
To copy files to a new location, first drop them onto the program window. Then, click on the Select target folder text and then click on Browse to choose the new location. You can also click on the Copy To or Move To buttons to choose a new destination. ..
The current version of TeraCopy (2.3) is not allowing you to do anything until it fully calculates the size of all the files added, which means it can take some time for large directories. The next version (3.0) coming in the beginning of 2015 will fix this issue and start the copying immediately. You can now click the More button to see the full list of files.
If you choose to copy or move a file to a new location, the process starts immediately and you’ll see the results in the listbox. If a file was copied or moved properly, you’ll see the green checkmark on the left. You can also click the Verify button after the copy process is complete to check the integrity of the file after the copy.
If you want to move a file from one directory to another, you’ll need to first decide which directory to move it to. The computer won’t tell you what to do if the file already exists in that directory.
The dialog is complicated, so I’ll explain it here. The buttons on the bottom are only for moving files to a new folder. If you click Current file, it will only move the current file to another folder and you’ll get another popup if the problems comes up again with another file. If you click Current folder, it will move any files in the current folder that it is copying to a newfolder if the file already exists. When it starts copying anotherfolder, the dialog will pop up again. If you click All files, then it will simply move any file in the copy process to a newfolder when the file already exists.
The right-hand side of the dialog box will let you choose to overwrite or rename files. Overwriting will simply overwrite one file and clicking All will overwrite all instances where the dialog would normally pop up. Renaming can be done by choosing a different name for a file and then clicking All, or by choosing to skip the rename operation if you want to keep all the renamed files in the same directory.
If you want to copy or move files between different versions of Windows, you’ll need to use the Windows Copy and Move tools. ..
If you uncheck the Show this dialog next time box, then it will remember what you have chosen and use that copier the next time. If you are using TeraCopy in this way, it will load the interface with the source and target already filled in and should start copying automatically.
I noticed that when I used UAC (User Account Control) to copy files, it would keep popping up and I had to allow the application each time. I found a previous post on understanding UAC in Windows and how to disable it. You can also check out this post that explains how you can bypass UAC for a single application.
In my own tests, TeraCopy was faster copying many smaller files over the network and was about the same speed as Windows when copying fewer very large files. Either way, the fact that you can pause and resume a transfer, recover from errors and have it integrated right into the shell is worth using it over Explorer.
