      I am moving some directories to a new server using Robocopy. For some reason, my destination files are completely empty. All the file permssions are correct, but all files read 0KB and I cannot open any of them.

      robocopy source destination /e /copyall /r:0 /w:0 /create

              Not sure if any one agrees with me, but I use RichCopy (based on Robocopy I believe) and have had no issues with copying even large (75gb) directories.

                If I remember correctly Richcopy is just a Robocopy GUI.

                  Yeah I think it used to be called Robocopy GUI, but it is now called Richcopy
