When you have to wait for your computer to finish a job -- especially when you spend what feels like hours staring at a progress bar, it's easy to lose focus. Especially when you're trying to focus on work.

Fortunately, TeraCopy Pro copies, moves, and stores files much, much faster than you can log on to the internet, get in a bidding war, download a game, and ultimately find yourself wondering what happened to your afternoon.

TeraCopy Pro works seamlessly with Windows Explorer, calculating source and target files to maximize your computer's efficiency. TeraCopy Pro helps you keep a clean and secure system by automatically skipping any bad files discovered during a transfer.

And no more hours lost to a botched batch transfer accidentally aborted by an errant keystroke or cancelled by a hibernating computer.TeraCopy Pro can start, stop, and pick up where you left off with a single click.

TeraCopy Pro copies files faster so you can work faster. And who doesn't want to work faster?

SoftCollector Dear Developer,

1. I have Directory Opus installed. The copy button (TC integration) works fine, but could you elaborate on what the advantages to using TC instead of the DO's built-in copy functions are? Same question applies to the Move function.
2. When no file is selected from the source pain DO copy and move buttons are grayed out, but the corresponding TC buttons do not change. Can that be fixed?
3. Also - in the Policy section: The product comes with the lifetime upgrade, but it is also pointed out that Support is provided for 12 months? Is that correct?

Kind Regards,
SC

Jeff Freeman 1. CRC checking, flash drive auto ejection and maybe other features.

2. No, if these buttons are in Directory Opus.

3. I'm trying to answer all support tickets, no matter when (or if) you registered TeraCopy, especially if you lose your license key.

disenchanted I bought the program about a year or so ago, when it was offered here on Bitsdujour.

Great program for several reasons.

1. Has worked well on several different OS's from XP media center, to XP Pro, Vista, Vista 64, win 7 starter edition and win 7 ultimate 64.

2. The ability for Teracopy to tell me when a destination drive does NOT have enough room to copy all files I selected is great.
It also tell exactly how much more room is needed on the destination disc in order to proceed. So you either clean up some more room on the destination disc and/or choose fewer files to transfer.

3. Once all files have been selected for transfer, you can walk away and return later.;knowing that your copy job will have completed all by itself.

Been very happy with the program so far.

bvssunnydale Does TerraCopy have command-line options? I like to use *.bat files directly from desktop (or creating shortcuts to them). Thanks. [one day btisdujour will drop the default to "email me updates"..]

Dec 18 2011 at 9:10am

PeLi It does have command-line options:

TeraCopy.exe Operation [*]Source Target [/SkipAll] [/OverwriteOlder] [/RenameAll] [/OverwriteAll] [/NoClose] [/Close]

Operation: Copy|Move|Delete|Test|Check
Source: File or folder
*Source: Path to filelist
Target: Destination folder

SoftCollector Dear Developer,

1. How is TeraCopy copying faster than the default Windows copy function?
2. I tried copying from inside Directory Opus a *.doc, which was at the time opened in Word and TeraCopy refused to do it, but the DO copy function completed the task. Please, comment.
3. Also, the site hints on the introduction of future differences in functionality between the free and pro versions. What will those functions be?

Kind Regards,
SC

Dec 18 2011 at 9:59pm

Jeff Freeman 1. TC uses some tricks like bypassing write cache and opening multiple files at once. But there are not much difference now in speed between TeraCopy and Windows 7, it has improved since XP.

2. Already fixed this error, will release an update soon.

3. Ability to choose between TeraCopyand Explorer on every drag'n'drop operation or cancel it.

Gonzo Hi,

Bought this when it was offered last time and I definitely like it!
I do have a question though:
I purchased not too long ago XYplorer, an alternative to the Windows Explorer (like Directory Opus). The thing is, when I copy file using XYplorer, it uses Windows copy mechanism, instead of TeraCopy.

Is there any way to force XYplorer to use TeraCopy whenever moving/copying files?

Thanks.

Azziz Mouloud I installed the trial version of teracopy and my Avast Internet Security pop_up and ask if to run teracopy in sandbox recommended. Is this normal; thus this reduce Teracopy efficiency in copy files?

Dec 20 2011 at 7:00am

Eddie Tex Anyone have an answer to Gonzo's question regarding integration with XYplorer?

Dec 20 2011 at 7:49am

Avi S Hi Jeff,
A couple of questions:
1] Can I perform multiple simultaneous copy operations from one drive to another with Teracopy?
2] Alternatively, if Teracopy is currently in the middle of a long copy operation, can I add something else to the queue, to be performed after the first operation finishes?
3] Someone mentioned that teracopy checks first for available space. However, in my case I often want to *ignore* the issue of available space - specifically, if I am copying a bunch of files to a directory which already includes most of those files, and I am going to simply be doing an "overwrite if different" operation, I don't want teracopy to refuse the operation based on available space. (This is, in my opinion, the major problem with the competing program Supercopier: when I set a large copy operation in progress, supercopier first takes several minutes to compute the required space, and afterward, if there is not enough space, it pops up a dialog asking whether to continue or not. The problem is that I can't simply set the copy into operation and walk away - I have to wait for that second dialog. I hope that teracopy has an option to always ignore the available space without having to tell it each time).
4] Does teracopy support move operations as well as copy operations?
Thanks for the info!

Dec 20 2011 at 8:00am

SoftCollector Dear Developer,

Thank you for answering my previous queries.

1. I am using TC from inside Directory Opus. Yesterday I had to copy several rather large files from an ftp to my computer. I tried to use TC for this, but pressing the corresponding TC button from inside Opus did not start TC, but the ordinary Opus copy function instead. At the end of the operation the TC window momentarily opened and closed. This happened on several occasions. Does this mean that TC cannot be used for copy operations from ftp? If that is indeed so, could that functionality be added in the foreseeable future?
2. There is a lag time of probably 2.5-3 seconds between clicking on the button from inside Opus and the actual appearance of TC's window. Can that be improved? I am using a fast machine.
3. Other copiers seem to imply that caching copied files can speed up the process - how real is that? Is TC using such techniques?

Kind Regards,
SC

Dec 20 2011 at 8:11am

Jeff Freeman To Avi:

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) Just set CheckFreeSpace=0 in config file.
4) Yes.

FastCopy is better for copying millions of files, since it not displays entire filelist (it will require lot of memory in this case). You can download free version and see what's best for you.

Last version of TeraCopy was downloaded about 400 000 times and no one reported real virus, so it's safe.

Code Sector - Dec 20 2011 at 8:38am

Avi S @Gonzo, @Eddie
Not long ago I sent a support item to XYplorer asking whether supercopier could be invoked for file copy operations instead of the standard Windows dialog. Their answer was: "sorry but this is not possible". I imagine that the same is true for Teracopy, since both of them use the same mechanism to hook the copy.
On the other hand, I think should all of us XYplorer users should each individually approach the XYplorer people to strongly request that this be fixed. I purchased XYplorer here on this forum some time ago, as I imagine many of us did. It is, otherwise, a really excellent program. But the need to use standard Windows copy dialog is a very severe limitation that undermines much of the usefulness of the program!

Dec 20 2011 at 9:02am

Bennet Immanuel Hi Jeff,
Please forgive me for asking this question. I could see rumors in some forums that using "Tera Copy" on the long run will reduce the life of HDD, also file corruption. Is it true? if you clarify, it could be useful to all of us. Thanks.

Dec 20 2011 at 9:03am

Jeff Freeman If XYplorer don't have any ability to add custom buttons or commands, you need to contact it's developer.

To SoftCollector:

1) Copying files and downloading from FTP is two different things, no plans for implementing it.

2) It's about 2 sec on my Windows machine. Try to disable antivirus for a minute. But the only way to greatly improve loading time of applications is to use SSD drive.

3) If you need to copy hundreds of small files between two drives on the same HDD, it's better to cache all files in RAM first, to reduce HDD heads seek times. This is one of tricks that TeraCopy uses.

Code Sector - Dec 20 2011 at 9:38am

Jeff Freeman To Bennet: TeraCopy don't use any "magical" API. Technically TeraCopy works the same as if you open a doc file with Microsoft Word and then save it to another place.

Sometimes TeraCopy can even reduce load on HDD, see 3) from my answer above.

Files smaller than 10 mb is copied as one piece. You need to try very hard corrupt files this way :) TeraCopy reads files to memory and writes back to disk, Windows reports OK. To to really ensure that file wasn't corrupted due to drive or RAM fault, just click the Verify button to re-read file and compare CRC value.

Code Sector - Dec 20 2011 at 10:20am

B Josephs I've seen a forum post somewhere saying that there is a considerable speed difference between TC free and TC Pro - from something like 16 mbs to 30 mbs. Is this correct?

Dec 20 2011 at 10:36am

Jeff Freeman No, there are no artificial limits in the free version.

Code Sector - Dec 20 2011 at 10:44am

Joe McCormick To Gonzo and Eddie Tex

This is just a thought. Xyplorer is a 32-bit program, so it might not work with the 64-bit version of TeraCopy

Dec 20 2011 at 11:14am

Bennet Immanuel Thanks a lot Jeff for clarifying.

Dec 20 2011 at 11:15am

J L Is it possible to automatically launch a program after file copy/move operations? (Antivirus, commit copied files outside a sandbox,…)
If it is not the case. Could it be possible to alter the behavior of the TeraCopy interface’s “Shutdown” button to launch a program instead? Which are the required changes in Options.ini to do so?

Dec 20 2011 at 11:44am

John Terdik Jeff - thanks for a really great application, I've used the free version for a long time and have been VERY pleased with it. I purchased the PRO version just to provide a little $ support for you.

I really like the additional info TeraCopy provides when there are issues.

Avi S - I've not used XYplorer as a file manager but I do use Zabkat-xplorer² professional 2.0.0.3(Windows XP,Vista,7 File Explorer Replacement) 64bit (I also use the 32 bit on my 32 bit system) and when I copy it does use TeraCopy.

I quickly looked at the XYployer website and it appears to have a lot of the function that is in xplorer² but I cannot state for sure. I've been super pleased with xplorer² and currently see no need to switch.

Dec 20 2011 at 1:15pm

Eddie Tex @John,

I have both xplorer2 and XYplorer. Comparison between the two tools came up quite a bit when XY went on sale here on BDJ.

I prefer the interface on XY over x2 and the licensing model is definitely favorable as well (lifetime updates), but I have found that in various ways, x2 seems better integrated into the OS.

Dec 20 2011 at 2:08pm

DrTeeth @ Jeff

"TeraCopy is our bestseller, so don't worry about development ;)"

With all due respect, you said you previously devoted more time to your android apps as they were more profitable. "Best seller" is not the same as "most profitable".

"Sorry for the long time without updates, our Android apps now more profitable than Windows ones " - July 2010

Please clarify the current state of affairs as I am confused.

Thanks

DrT

Dec 20 2011 at 2:11pm

John Terdik Eddie Tex - tks for the info on XY, I just went through the comments on BDJ and may give it a shot when it becomes available on BDJ again.

BTW x2 has a lifetime license for $30 (US). By no means do I use much of the power in x2 but looking at XY I do like the color coding. if this is available in x2 I don't know how to set it up. The help manual sorta blows me away.

I'm one of those dumb users that if I cannot figure it out in a few minutes and the help file does not have moving pictures :) I'm lost.

Dec 20 2011 at 3:21pm

Patricia Lange John Terdik - I've used xplorer2 for MANY years and also haven't mastered (or found) all of its power. When I come across something I can't figure out, though, I post a question on the users' forum and rarely have to wait long for an answer. Unlike many such forums, the developer has a daily presence there and frequently responds himself.

I tried out Teracopy and couldn't figure out how to queue sets of files going both from different folders and to different folders. When I searched help, I found nothing that clarified this, so after sending some files to the wrong place I uninstalled it. I can do this already with xplorer2, but was hoping Teracopy might reduce the number and length of "not respondings" that invariably arise whenever I try to do anything OTHER than move files.

Dec 20 2011 at 4:00pm

Jeff Freeman J L, you can edit PowerOff.cmd, TeraCopy will run it if you enable 'Shutdown' option.

DrTeeth, last year we were focused on Android apps, currently I've some ideas for TeraCopy and recently released version of Delphi allows me to implement it. Priorities are changing, but we'll never drop development of programs that are popular and profitable.

Code Sector - Dec 20 2011 at 4:19pm

SoftCollector I bought the TeraCopy Pro as part of the last promotion here. It integrates itself into Directory Opus (the best file manager out there), but it crashes every once in a while. I have informed Support and received assurances that they know what the problem is and will issue a bug fix. This happened on Jan 12. No follow up, unfortunately.

Feb 28 2012 at 2:33pm

Jeff Freeman Actually it's not a TeraCopy problem, Directory Opus passes empty string instead of source file. If I fix it, TC won't crash but still won't do anything.

Code Sector - Feb 28 2012 at 2:43pm

Quoc Vuong Hoang good, i want to use it

Apr 24 2012 at 8:18am

andy Michaelis I'm trying to use the command line with TeraCopy and I and I want to move all files in a directory to a new directory
TeraCopy.exe Copy "c:\test\200\" E:\test\test
The problem is it puts all the files into E:\test\test\200
How can I copy all the contents of \200 into the root of a different folder?

Through the GUI I can do this by selecting all the files in the folder and dragging them in but I don't see how to do this in the command line. Help?

Apr 25 2012 at 9:35am

Shay Hardin I have a question and would appreciate it so much if someone knows the answer because it's really important.

I have been moving data from a 1.5 TB hard drive to another due to the drive beginning to fail, for the past few days using the free version of TeraCopy. The source drive has been running from a USB 2.0 external because when I put it in my computer on the SATA port, it was not acting correctly, it kept refreshing itself and my transfers would get interrupted. Not wanting to take any chances I hooked it back up to the USB 2.0 external where it works and I am able to transfer the data off of it.

But it is EXTREMELY slow in the data trasnfer! I have several TeraCopy windows running to help capture as much as I can simultaneously which may be slowing it down but I'm trying to hurry so....

I ordered a USB 3.0 external and a USB 3.0 PCI card from Newegg.com and it will be in today. My question is this: Is there any way to stop the current TeraCopy data transfers safely without corrupting or losing the original source data so that I can turn off the computer, put in the PCI USB 3.0 card and put the source drive in the USB 3.0 enclosure and resume the transfer in hopes that it will run a lot faster?

The current transfer rates range from 205Kbs to 85Kbs.

Karl Valentin I unfortunately missed the December 2012 50% discount on www.codesector.com like many others.

I wanted to ask if there is a chance that this offer will be back on BTJ in the near future as there are almost 500 people interested in this deal.

I did use Supercopier for some time, but it is slower copying smaller files.
I believe TeraCopy is the best of its kind but the retail price is a little bit too high for my budget.

HongJun Lin Nice app but I need much more discount.

Apr 28 at 1:41am

Lwarom Are there any discount incentives for 2013? I'm using this app. for the past 2 years(free version) with no complains, but willing to go officially Pro for a better price in the near future- codesector.com didn't advertise any discount on this site for quite a while, and as I can see here, there are over 500+ members ready to jump in @ a better price in a matter of seconds, just for few bucks less than the regular price. Hopefully codesector.com is gonna take action soon and they shall have more followers and their gold! Wake up codesector.com, for just few bucks discount you'll get richer in seconds and more happy people writing good reviews about this great application!
