Copy over Ethernet:Robocopy, Xcopy? 32bit or 64bit?

I have no doubt other programs work. XCOPY does the job.
But ROBOCOPY has me baffled.   

So if it works are you just bein stubborn ? ?

The "File" is $RECYCLE.BIN and it is a folder. You can either exclude it with the /xd switch, or you can use /r:0 to set the retry count to 0 so it will continue to the next file if errors occur.

[nil]

Check out the /XD option which allows you to specifically exclude/skip over directories such as RECYCLE.BIN.

Good example on this page:

It looks like you can just specify a series of quoted directory names and they will be excluded.

Thank you both. Got it to work!
Some other details. I set both PCs to use the same user name, which is a MS account. An both require password to log in and to let the network share.

An rather than use the drive map, I use the full share name of the other PC.
Share name is: \\Dell\Data$
Rather than block out the file giving me trouble, I used the wait and retry  options thus I see what is going on.
I want the network drive to be copied to y local E: drive and I did this:
ROBOCOPY \\Dell\Data$ E: /w:3 /r:1 /s
it waits 3 seconds on a problem and ttys one more time. It snags some system files, but keep on going. and gets all the stuff I want.

The mystery is why would it try a system or hidden file or folder? Some types of system things in Windows should not be transported over a network. You would think  Microsoft would have a default setting that would not transport information not relevant to drive content. Maybe there is a reason.

Anyway, now I can use ROBOCOPY to make a backup over the network rather than taking a portable external drive from one PC to another. 

Thanks everybody.

My bad. 

The  RASHCNETO thing in ROBOCOPY ...
 - is one to a customer.
You can not go piggyback.   

I tried
ROBOCOPY Z: E: /XA:RSH /S 
.. which is wrong.   
(I want to exclude read only , system and hidden and do subdirectories.)
It hasto be
ROBOCOPY Z: E: /XA:R /XA:S /XA:H /S 
Is that right?
