Hello Milhan,

on top of what Pederabo has suggested.., the oter easy way to get working similar to aliases are using a set command..


C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>set dira=dir /A

C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 548F-C2AD

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test

04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> .
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> ..
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 normal.txt
1 File(s) 4 bytes
2 Dir(s) 6,269,435,904 bytes free

C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>%dira%
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 548F-C2AD

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test

04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> .
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> ..
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 hidden.txt
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 normal.txt
2 File(s) 8 bytes
2 Dir(s) 6,269,403,136 bytes free

C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>


In teh above example, i made simiar to alias - dira to be executed as dir /A, only thing is you will have to use it with percentages.. as in %dira%

NAME
pcp - copy files SYNOPSIS
pcp [-d LEVEL] [-p DEVNAME] [-h] [:]SOURCE [[:]DESTINATION] DESCRIPTION
pcp copies a file on a device connected through SynCE or between a device connected through SynCE and host PC. Forward slashes ('/') in remote file names specified on the command line are converted to backward slashes (''). This tool must be run as the same user as the dccmd daemon. OPTIONS
-r Copy directories recursively. -d LEVEL Set debug log level: 0 - No logging (default) 1 - Errors only 2 - Errors and warnings 3 - Everything -p DEVNAME Use the device with the given name, instead of the default. -h Display help message. [:]SOURCE Full path to the source filename. When the filename is prefixed with a colon (':'), it will be treated as a remote filename, other- wise as a local filename. [:]DESTINATION Full path to the destination filename. When the filename is prefixed with a colon (':'), it will be treated as a remote filename, otherwise as a local filename. If this parameter is omitted and the source filename is local, the local file will be copied to a file with the same name in the "My Documents" directory on the device connected through SynCE. If this parameter is omitted and the source filename is remote, the remote file will be copied to a file with the same name in the current directory. EXAMPLES
Copy a file from host computer to remote device: pcp download/game.cab ":/Temporary Files/game.cab" Copy a file from remote device to host computer: pcp ":/My Documents/snore.wav" /tmp/snore.wav Copy a file from host computer to remote device into the "My Document" folder - you can leave off the last parameter: pcp "work/mytext.txt" Copy a file from remote device to host computer into the current directory - you can leave off the last parameter: pcp ":/My Documents/snore.wav" Copy a file from one location on the remote device to another: pcp ":/My Documents/important.pwi" ":/My Documents/important.backup.pwi" AUTHOR
