Hi, You can all files of sub folder like this string path = @"C:\Test"; DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(path); var files = dinfo.EnumerateFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories); //var files = dinfo.GetFiles("*"); List fileDatas = new List (); foreach (var fileInfo in files) { var filePath = fileInfo.FullName; //DateTime dt; //using (var textFile = File.OpenText(filePath)) //{ // dt = GetDateValue(textFile.ReadLine(), fileInfo.Name); //} //var fileData = new FileData { FileName = fileInfo.Name, FilePath = filePath, FileModifiedDate = dt }; //fileDatas.Add(fileData); } Regards, Iftikar

I put those, so that you may incorporate this for your earlier requirement. Otherwise you can remove it. I believe you want the same as you asked on Friday. Regards, Iftikar

hi, need more clarity in your question.. you have mentioned that multiple sub folders contains file with same name.. but i don't think you can copy all of them together into a single folder because only a unique file name(with same extension) can exist in a folder.. either it will be overwritten or it will throw error..
