I want to compare one folder's contents to the contents of another folder and whatever files don't exist in the 'destination' folder I want to copy it to the destination folder. I am NOT interested in synching both folders. Also I want the program to ignore subdirectory structure when comparing. I just want to know if the file exists anywhere in the destination folder. It would be nice when the copy was made that the 'source' subdirectory was created in the destination folder but it is not essential. Can anyone help me out?
 
Get a sync program and set it up for uni-directional mode. I was using the free Windows Synctoy on XP, but it has issues with Win7, so now I am using Allways Sync, which is more robust than it's goofy interface leads you to believe.

Try this WinMerge
 
I have tried 'robocopy' , the updated version 'richcopy', 'allway sync', and 'secondcopy' and I have not seen where I can have it check all subdirectories for the file. I'll take a look at the others later. Any other suggestions?
