How do we write DOS commands to copy one file to another ??

Question

from C:\Documents and Settings\kungfu to D:\confucius

Answer 1

copy *.* C:\docs\ c:\backup\

*.* means all the files (two wildcards)

note the command to copy directories is xcopy this is more powerfull and can backup whole drives - to get the help screen up in dos type /? after the command

Answer 2

suppose u want to transfer a file A from c:\ to d:\
then u shud use this command in dos

c:\copy C:\Documents and Settings\kungfu D:\confucius

even if ur not getting id done then try c:\copy /?
/?-is a help command in dos.. which works for all commands

Answer 3

okay, go to start>run>type in "cmd"

dos screen will open and then type in "copy /?">enter

there you will find the commands that you need. good luck!
