has total commander a safe copy feature?


Question

Hi

i know total commander is a great tool , i have not used it in past very often , to be sincere, honest

but i download a trial version and i found it a very good program

well i have often to copy files (for example 150Gb ) at once , i don't mean 1 file of 150bg , many files that all have a size of 150Gb

well i would like to know if total commander has a solid SAFE copy feature

thanks

Yep, I posted the same time he did.

If it were me and you were looking for the best bet, I'd say in TC, perform the following:

bullet_black.gif Select the file(s) you are going to copy

bullet_blue.gif Select the "Files | Create CRC Checksums" option and create either the SFV or MD5 hash file.

bullet_green.gif Copy your file(s) to the destination folder, as necessary, complete with the SFV/MD5 files

bullet_orange.gif Select the MD5/SFV files in the destination folder after copying has completed

bullet_pink.gif Select the "Files | Verify CRC Checksums" option and view the results

bullet_purple.gif If the file is the same as it was in the source location, you'll receive an "Ok" message. If the file is not the same and was damaged in transit you will receive a "Read error" or "Wrong checksum" depending on the situation.

So, in short the answer is yes though ;)

Well, yeah - there's other software but note that TC can create just one file for you to use to verify that (for instance) 150 files made it over to the other side safely. That would definitely save you from 150 double-clicks ;) Then you would just run 1 against the 150 files and it would check all of them and report if any of them are damaged.

If you want another free app to verify SFV, MD5 files, etc. you can get a free app like hkSFV to make and verify all the SFV or MD5 files for you. It's free and will save you from buying TC if that's all you planned on using it for. Heck, hkSFV and TotalCopy sounds like it would be a perfect free solution for you ;)
