How do i copy files in dos?..like copy C:/Windows/System/file.exe to C:/Folder/ Thanks

You just answered your own question. COPY C:/Windows/System/file.exe C:/Folder

C:\WINDOWS>copy/? 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).

Use the dos help system to check out both the COPY and XCOPY commands. I normally use the /V option. Good luck - keep us posted

Tom above forgot after typing this at a DOS prompt you press enter. Dan Penny must not have thought you were being serious talking like a Microsoft explanation as he did.

Tom above also put in forward slashes instead of back slashes. Try: COPY C:\Windows\System\file.exe C:\Folder

How do i check for existence of the file before i copy it?
