Could someone explain how I can transffer the entire contents of \\myserver\users to another directory? I only seem to be able to get the stuff from the root of \users and not any subdirectorys/files

From memory it supports the XCOPY switches, so try a /s

I've not used it for some time, you could also try rsync as there's a windows version about somewhere.

/E = Copies directories and subdirectories, even empty ones

To find out options for Windows commands, try the command with the /? option. For example, for xcopy, xcopy /? from a command prompt will give you a summary of its options. For robocopy, you can find this reference (http://www.ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html) handy.

To clear up any confusion for me.

xcopy and robocopy are different applications right?

robocopy was written by one of the MS techs many years ago (I had it on either NT 3.5 or 3.51 !) as a robust replacement for xcopy. The switches are therefore similiar.

I think robocopy comes with a resource kit, and xcopy is part of the base Windows installation.
