How to copy directory as xml file?

Question

Backup

I want to save the contents of the FTP dump before formatting it, but in such a way that not only the names of the directories, but also the names of all files remain (xcopy and robocopy are not suitable). How can this be done on Windows?

Maybe it can be saved as an XML file, or maybe there are some other options.

Answer 1

In my opinion, there is a tree command, or throw a script on powershell

Answer 2

Powershell: see here

Answer 3

Exactly for your task. A free program for creating a list of files and folders: https://rlab.ru/tools/rviewer.html
Then you can view it as in an explorer.
And the result is not just XML, but with compression so that it takes up less space.
