    hi i am building a website.

    i have about 900 folders which will be going in my root directory.

    each folder will have 4 files in it.

    i need these 4 files in all of the 900 folders.

    i can only see how to do it by copying and pasting the 4 files into each folder 1 by 1.

    this is slow and tedious. is there a way so that i can paste them to all 900 folders at the same time?

    so then all 900 folders have 4 files in each one.

    or maybe a script to do this.

    thanks

    steve

    Hello, ssnet.

    You don't tell where your website is hosted. Is it a shared host or a dedicated server? I will try to talk with somebody in the support team and ask them to do the job. Although 900 directories are a lot of directories, they could write a batch script to do the directory creation and file copying. Or maybe they can give you directions on how to write the script.

    All the luck.
