c is the drive letter of the hard disk drive and
/InstDir/ is the directory where the applications

File-migration commands

System Migration Assistant processes file-migration commands in the following order: file inclusion
commands are performed first, then file exclusion commands are performed from the inclusion files.

System Migration Assistant selects and deselects files on the basis of the original location of files and folders
on the source computer. File redirection statements are stored in the profile and are interpreted during the
apply phase. File migration is recursive into sub-directories.

The processing of file and directory names is not case sensitive.

The following table contains information about the file-migration commands. All file migration commands
are optional.
