  *Which* 'File Commander' do you use and on which platform(s) (Android,
Windows or both)?

  There's a 'File Commander' for Android by MobiSystems
(<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.fileman&hl=en_US>).

  There's a 'File Commander' for Windows (and others) by Brian Havard
(<http://silk.apana.org.au/fc.html>)

  There's another 'File Commander' for Windows by Cinnamon Software
(<http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/file_commander.html>).

  And there are probably other apps/programs called 'File Commander'.

For Windows. 

I use it for copyiong photos and other files from Androidto Windows as
the subject line says, though it might work the other way too.

Possibly that one -- it sounds like it from the description. 

It works like the old Norton Commahnder for DOS.

  This thread has been dormant for a while, until Steve Hayes
resurrected it today.

  That made me re-read your OP and made me think that what you seem to
be asking for is actually some kind of 'sync from phone to Windows'
functionality. I.e. your "skip-duplicate" is actually a sync type
operation.

  Having said that, you may want to investigate again and now search for
sync-type apps or Android or Windows.

  One I know is MyPhoneExplorer [1], which has an Android and Windows
component and which can work over USB (and WiFi and Bluetooth).

  MPE has several sync-type functions, one is even called 'Sync photos'!
:-)

  So if you haven't already, have a look at MyPhoneExplorer.

This method of "mounting" and/or "sharing" the Android filesystem with
Windows/Ubuntu (and likely the Mac) should help with backing up photos.

 Tutorial to run any Windows command directly on Android over either USB or Wi-Fi 
 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/JrWLPRYO-TU>

For example, scheduled rsync commands should work (but I have no experience
with rsync so if others have a working solution, it would be good to post
that so that we all benefit from your knowledge and experience).

  Did you have a look at MyPhoneExplorer? I posted about that, but
AFAICT you didn't respond.

  AFAIK, MyPhoneExplorer is one of the very few Android/Windows combos,
which:

- Work over USB.
- Is not (Android device) brand-specific.
- Is not payware.

  If MPE is not to you liking, you may want to search (in Google, etc.)
for MPE alternatives. That's the way I often find stuff, which is hard
to find in other ways.
