Question
This is very strange. I am using the CSCCMD tool to extract a users offline files due to a change of server etc..
The user is called fred & the old server was called kheserver. Fred had made multiple directories within his "My Documents" folder to arrange his work in a proper way.

Now when i run the following command:

csccmd /EXTRACT:\\kheserver\users\fred /TARGET:c:\fred

This works fine but will only extract what is in the root "My Documents" folder. Nothing in the sub-directories will be extracted.

Next I ran the command on a sub-directory as follows:

csccmd /EXTRACT:\\kheserver\users\fred\Management /TARGET:c:\fred

This worked fine as well.

The problem starts when i try to extract files from a directory whose name is more than one word for eg "Technical issues" So if i typed the following command:

csccmd /EXTRACT:\\kheserver\users\fred\Technical Issues /TARGET:c:\fred

I get the following error:

Unregognized option "Issues"
System Error 87

This happens for any directory whose name is more than i word long. Can anyone help with this??


Slution
I would think you could just use the 8.3 format for each folder, such as this:

csccmd /EXTRACT:\\kheserver\users\fred\Techni~1\BRCAud~1 /TARGET:c:\fred

Note that the "BRC Audit 2004" folder has been shortened so that there is no space between BRC and Aud. I note this is true on my computer when I do a Change Directory to \Progra~1 (which is shortened form of Program Files) and I do a DIR /X of the subfolders, and the long name Zone Labs is shortened to ZoneLa~1.
