Hi Daya,

You can change the current project using "ss.exe cp $/Root" command.
You can also get recursively a project without changing the currentproject
to it, like this:
"ss.exe get -R -I-Y $/Root"
You may also need to specify -GF and -GL flags, depending where you want
your files to end up.

Hi Alin,
Actually my VSS in remote machine so i need to get the
latest version form there.....For that through SSEXP.exe i can able to
reach but for getting latest version i have to use ss.exe.....How come
the "ss Get " command will invoke without SSEXP.exe for getting latest
version ......Pls give a hint

********************************
i've tried the sameU have given)it came $/Root does not exist(bcs it
may checking in local machine)....

I'm not sure I understand your question.

Does the $/Root folder exist in the database you're trying to get the file
from?
(use "ss.exe Dir $/" command to verify this).
If not, and you expect it to be, perhaps ss.exe is connecting to a different
database?
Have you set SSDIR environment variable to point to the remote database you
want to get the files from?
Without the variable set (and if you're running VSS6), ss.exe will try to
get the files from the default database, which is in ..\data from where
ss.exe is.

Ya i got it ....
But it is copying to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\VSS\win32\ " this location...
Also i set the working folder as " ss Workfold $/ROOT C:\ROOT ".....

[Alin Constantin [MSFT]]

You should use the -GLC:\Root flag to get the files in a different folder
than where you're launching ss.exe from.
You may also be able to use -GF, depending on how your working folders are
set.

Thats fine....But it is asking i/p Yes/No in order to create each and
every Sub-directory.....i have tried "-I-" option to ignore the input
but by default it is taking "No" option Also i user " -R " option too
....So how to avoid it.
My command is like below....
ss Get $/LSC/* -R -I- -GF
ss Get $/LSC/* -R -I -GF

Yes, ThanQ Alin

I got it previous one too...... by using
" ss Get $/LSC/ -R -GLC:\Lsc1.1.1_NewUpdated -I-" Command


Onceagain Thanks a lot.....

[Alin Constantin [MSFT]]

The -I- is equivalent to -I-N (answer No to all questions) in this case.
You can use -I-Y to answer yes to all questions.

Then how to get a latest updated file only,(whether any option is there
to check latest updated file)

[Alin Constantin [MSFT]]

Specify the file name, not the project "ss.exe get
$/Project/File.txt -GLC:\Destination\File.txt"
If there is a newer version available it will replace hte local version.

[daya]

i don't want to specify File.txt, insted by default only it as to find
all those which are recently updated & need to list all......

[Alin Constantin [MSFT]]

There is no option to check / list the files that have newer versions before
retrieving the files.
You can do an "ss get" and only the files that have newer versions will ge
retrieved.

[daya]

Ok,

I listed all the updated files in a text file, Now it is
possible, by reading that file it as to get the specifeid one
