&nbsp;Hi,

I'm using FB 6.3.0.2140. &nbsp;I want to add extra options to the Robocopy action. &nbsp;Specifically /MT:8 which is the multi-threading option that works on Win7 / Win2008. &nbsp;This option is incompatible with /IPG. &nbsp;However I can't seem to find a way for the standard Robocopy action to not use /IPG in the command line.

The options dialog has "Insert delay after each 64k chunk of file data is copied (free up bandwidth)" but you can't set it to 0 or have it not issue an /IPG as far as I can tell. &nbsp;Is there a way to use it without it?

Thanks,

-Nelson

not sure about the built in action, but as a workaround for now you can use the execute program action and specify the robocopy exe path and whatever parameters you want.

I actually found the way to remove the /IPG from the command line, but there seems to be a bug. There is a property called DelayToFreeUpBandwidth which is set to 1. If you set this to 0, /IPG is removed. However it seems if I modify the action, the value returns to 1. I am able to work around this by putting Action.DelayToFreeUpBandwidth = 0; in the BeforeAction.
