Copying From One Directory to Another

The COPY command lets you copy files from one directory to

another. To use this command, you must specify the name of

the file you want to copy, as well as the directory to which you

want to copy the file.

For example, if you are in the LETTERS directory and want to

copy the file APRIL.TXT to the BUSINESS directory, type the

following and press Enter:

C

O P Y A P R I L

.

T X T

\WORDPROC\BUSINESS

The command has three parts: the word COPY, the name

of the file you want to copy (APRIL.TXT), and the name

of the directory to which you want to copy this file

( \ WORDPROC \BUSINESS). You must include spaces or

commas between each of the three parts as delimiters.

Note

You can also copy files using MENU or the MS-DOS

XCOPY command. See the section later in this chapter on

using MENU, and see your MS-DOS Reference Manual for

information about using XCOPY.
