I want to copy files from a Floppy on Drive A: to a Folder on Drive C: entitled "Digital Photos, how do I code this using DOS copy a:\whatever c:\anotherplace\Ah yes - I seem to REMEMBER DOS - isnt that the OS which will not ALLOW spaces in a filename without enclosing in double quotes? Can't quite recall the syntax - something like

copy "a:\this file c:\that folder\this file"


What version of Dos are you using???I TRIED copying all files from A: to C: using the following DOS Command, Copy A:\ C:\My Documents and I keep getting a message stating "Too Many Parameters". What am I doing WRONG? Any info would be appreciated, thanks!copy a:\*.* "c:\my documents"

Notice the quotes, they are required.I tried copying files on A: Drive to C: using the DOS Command Copy a:\*.* "c:\My Documents", now I'm getting a message stating "Files on Drive a:\*.* Not Found". Shouldn't this command copy all files from Drive A: to C:? Thanks for your help.You need to understand what the DOS command is doing and exactly what you want to do. When you use copy a:\*.* you are telling DOS to copy all files in the root directory of a: . If there no files in the root directory the command will fail. If you want to copy all directories and files in all directories, you need to use the xcopy command. Type xcopy/?[\b] at he DOS prompt to see the switches available for the command.
