COPY - Copies one or more files to another location. COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]] source Specifies the file or files to be copied. /A Indicates an ASCII text file. /B Indicates a binary file. /D Allow the destination file to be created decrypted. destination Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s). /V Verifies that new files are written correctly. /N Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with a non-8dot3 name. /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. /Z Copies networked files in restartable mode. The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from within a batch script. To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format). You can set the COPYCMD environment variable to specify whether you want the COPY, MOVE, and XCOPY commands to prompt you for confirmation before overwriting a file, whether issued from the command prompt or a batch file. To force the COPY, MOVE, and XCOPY commands to prompt you before overwriting in all cases, set the COPYCMD environment variable /-Y. To force these commands to overwrite in all cases without prompting you, set the COPYCMD environment variable to /Y. Typing any of these commands with the /Y or /-Y switch overrides all defaults and the current setting of the COPYCMD environment variable.
