C++ USB file transfer?

ace777 · 06-26-2011, 07:14 PM

I need to make a program that copies and entire directory to a USB drive, or multiple drives. This is a tool I will use to hook up peoples flash drives and copy over software packages so they can use them. Any ideas on how to do this in windows? Don't want to resort to the quick and easy system() call. Thanks!

Why does it need to be a C++ program? Seems a bat file could do the job pretty easily.

I guess I could do that, the problem is I don't want to prompt the user for the drive each time, I just want to have it detect a USB drive, and when the program is run automatically copy to the USB drives.
