COPY  Copy one or more files to an alternate 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

copy *.* a: = This would copy all files in the directory currently in to the floppy disk in drive a:

copy autoexec.bat c:\windows = This would take the autoexec.bat usually found at root and copy it into the windows directory the autoexec.bat can be substituted for any file(s).

copy win.ini c:\windows /y = This would copy the win.ini file which is already in your windows directory to the windows directory without prompting if you wanted to overwrite the file or not.

copy myfile1.txt+myfile2.txt = This command would copy the contents in myfile2.txt and combine it with the contents in myfile1.txt.
