Copy directory using Qt

Question

I want to copy a directory from one drive to another drive. My selected directory contains many sub directories and files.

How can I implement the same using Qt?

Answer 1

The hard way. Copy every file individually.

• Use QDir::entryList() to iterate over the content of a directory
• Use QDir::cd() and QDir::cdUp() to go in and out of directories
• Use QDir::mkdir() and QDir::mkpath() to create the new folders tree
• and finally, use QFile::copy() to copy the actual files
