well, To copy files, one would normally type in the following.

COPY sourcefilepath\sourcefile(s) destinationfilepath\destionati onfile(s)

If you are currently in the source file path's directory, you probably know that you can skip that part of the COPY command. What you may not know is that you can do the same if you are in the destination file's path.

For example, say you are in the C:\BITMAP directory, and you want to copy all of the BMP files from the A: drive to C:\BITMAP. Instead of typing

COPY A:\*.BMP C:\BITMAP

You can just type
COPY A:\*.BMP

To make a duplicate of the original is called copy. In digital electronics, all copies are identical, which is both a blessing and curse. The blessing is that data can be maintained and remanufactured accurately forever. The curse is that anyone can duplicate copyrighted material and send it around the world in seconds. It all depends on which side of the fence you sit

Allows the user to copy one or more files to an alternate location.

Copies one or more files to another location.

COPY [/A | /B] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination] [/A | /B]] [/V] [/Y | /-Y]
source Specifies the file or files to be copied.
/A Indicates an ASCII text file.
/B Indicates a binary file.
destination Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s).
/V Verifies that new files are written correctly.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).

Examples

The below example would copy all files in the current directory to the floppy disk in drive a:

copy *.* a:

The cp command copies the source file specified by the SourceFile parameter to the destination file specified by the TargetFile parameter.

The COPY command can be used both to copy files from disk to disk or to create a second copy of a file on a single disk

Copy command is an application that makes a duplicate of data selected from a document and stores it in the Clipboard without removing the data from the original document. The data then can be used in other documents and other applications.

Many software programs allow you to copy data, such as text in Microsoft Word or an image in Adobe Photoshop. To copy a piece of data, you need to first select it and choose "Copy" from the Edit menu within the program. Most programs allow you to use the keyboard shortcut "Control-C" for Windows.
