arch
(Archive)
Attribute

Setting a file’s Archive attribute affects how

MS-DOS

and some applications create a

back-up file when you make changes to the
file.

rdonly
(Read Only)
Attribute

Setting a file or directory to Read-Only
protects the file from any changes or editing.
The file cannot be written to or deleted from
the storage device (hard disk or floppy).

sys
(System)
Attribute

The System attribute is used for system files
(

.SYS

) required to start and run your

computer. Usually only a user familiar with
programming should modify this attribute.
System files are hidden in

MS-DOS

directory

(

DIR

command) listings, but

LFM

does display

system files.

hide
(Hide File)
Attribute

The Hide attribute “hides” the file from the

MS-DOS

DIR

and

PRINT

commands so that the

file is not displayed, read, or printed. However,

LFM

does display, read, and print “hidden”

files.

Copy Command

The Copy command enables you to copy the highlighted
file, tagged files (see “Multiple File Operations” later in this
chapter), or an entire directory to another directory or to
the floppy drive.

To copy a file or directory, highlight the file or directory
name you want to copy, and press C.

LFM

prompts at the

bottom of the screen

Path: [ ]

Type the pathname where you want the directory/file
copied to, and press ENTER.
