Could I somehow just synchronize or copy only the folders (without all of the files), the complete folder structure from one side to the other?

Synchronizing with excluding all files does not appear to work, the folders obviously automatically are excluded, also.

Workaround:
- copy first in some TEMP1 folder the entire structure (files and folders)
- go to TEMP1 and swich to "Plain view - file, folders" Ctrl+Alt+B
- select all files with Edit > Select all files
- delete selected files
- you have the folder structure now

Many thanks, Karol,

Yes, that is a very good procedure, the problem is, I would have to copy about 100 (or 200) GB first or so, it would last very long. And doing it often, it would be a bit inconvenient.

Many thanks again.

if you want to do it with FCXE - I have no idea

but you can use xcopy command (blizzing fast - reliable)
example:
xcopy C:\Folders D:\Folders /t /e
(/t --> copy folder tree)
(/e --> copy empty folder as well)

Many thanks, alf5000.

Yes, that works great, copies the complete folder structure (without files).

Many thanks again.

By the way, is there a command to (more or less) also copy the files, but copy them as 0-byte-files (dummies so to say), so the same extension without content with 0 byte, just for testing or to have the same file and folder structur as the original?
