Copies a file to another filename or directory.

/copy -ao <filename> <filename>

You can also use wildcards for the source filename, and a directory name for the destination.

• The -o switch overwrites a file if it exists.
• The -a switch appends the first file to the second one.

Example

/copy "C:\file.txt" "C:\file2.txt"

Copies file.txt to the same directory with filename file2.txt.

/copy -o "C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.ini" "C:\backup-mirc.ini"

Copies C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.ini to a backup file and overwrites if it already exists.
