Using the COPY command

You can use the COPY command to copy files in several ways. You can do the following:

Copy individual files from one diskette to another or to the same diskette

Copy a group of files using wildcard characters

Copy one or more files and give them new names.

A few simple rules apply when copying files:

You must tell MS-DOS where to find the source file and where to store the target file.

You cannot create a new file with the same name as an existing file.
