Description

Anchor
1153758 1153758

The copy command initiates a copy operation.

1153759 1153759

source-logical-name specifies the logical name of the source server (logical name of either the primary or secondary transfer server specified in the open command).

Anchor
1153763 1153763

source-file-specification specifies the complete path or single file name of the file or files to be copied.

Anchor
1153764 1153764

Optionally, destination-logical-name and destination-file-specification can be used to specify the logical name of the destination server and the complete path or single file name for the destination file.

Anchor
1153765 1153765

If destination-file-specification identifies only a file name, the current directory (or high-level qualifier) is used for the destination server. If destination-file-specification identifies only a directory, the file name specified in source-file-specification is used.

Anchor
1153766 1153766

If destination-logical-name and destination-file-specification are not specified, the other server in the transfer session (that is, the server not specified in source-logical- name) is assumed to be the destination server and source-file-specification is used for the destination file name.

By default, the destination file has timestamps matching its creation date, last modification date, and access date. However, via attributes set in the attrib command, you can set the destination file to have timestamps matching the source file.

Note
title Note
If an error is encountered, a copy operation will halt, and control will be returned to the script.
