Introduction

If you have ever experienced MS-DOS's copy or Unix's cp commands, you might be impressed by their simplicity and functionality - their are easy and work well. As to Internet, abundant information resource is hidden there. We may sometimes need a tool to download files instantly as if we perform a copy or cp command we usually do, rather than download it via a huge monster application like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

Yes, here, with nowadays web and traditional Internet technologies embodied, HyperCopy (abbreviated as hcopy) provides users with a copy-like usage and web's URL locating method to help you get what you want immediately from the Internet - no matter how many of HTML pages, files in a FTP site, or even files in a USENET newsgroup (like one in alt.binaries series) . Just upload/download them with a simple hcopy command. For sample commands like:

Hcopy can download files or pages from a HTTP or FTP source recursively. Which means with hcopy, you can download a whole sub-directory, even a whole site of files into your storage devices. hcopy is smart enough to compare the time-stamps of remote files with locals' to see whether to update local files or not. Especially, when downloading web pages, hcopy will relocate all absolute URL pathes inside HTML pages into relative ones, which makes it convenient for user to browse it locally with a browser like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

One of hcopy's important features is that it won't give up easily! Before a file is uploaded/downloaded successfully, hcopy will keep on trying until 1) the remote server is down, or 2) the network is down, or 3) the user has stopped hcopy. This is a necessary design for the untrusty Internet.

By the side of Netnews, hcopy is capable of decoding any possible files inside a newsgroup. MIME, BASE64, and UU decoding are supported. Hcopy also remember messages that hcopy ever processed, and never touch them in the newsgroup for twice.

Hcopy supports proxy servers, which means if your computer or LAN is shielded by a firewall or a proxy server, all you have to do is tell hcopy about this, and hcopy can get through it.

As a command-line utility, hcopy can be executed easily via a system timing event, such as Windows NT's built-in Schedule service. Hcopy can produce log files, which record everything happened during its executing period. All of these make it possible to perform an unmanned and trusty upload/download. Especially, users can select to upload/download unmannedly during midnight or a cut-price period to save time and money.

Hcopy has been tested and improved for over one year. Its reliability and efficiency has been proved to be good. We think hcopy's intelligent uploading/downloading ability should give you a whole new experience of hunting files over the vast Internet sea.Click here to download it

Installation

Hcopy is composed of only one executive file - hcopy.exe. It needs no setting at all. All you have to do is place hcopy.exe into a directory which can be found in the environment variable PATH. Then you can run it under any directory directly. For example, put it in the installed directory of Windows NT (such as C:\WINNT) or the installed directory of Windows 95 (such as C:\WINDOWS).
