File Commands

.. — Signifies the parent directory. This can be used in place of an actual directory name in a directory-url.
directory-url — The destination directory.
copy
Syntax copy source-file-url dest-file-url [force]
Context file
Description
This command copies a file or all files in a directory from a source URL to a destination URL. At least one
of the specified URLs should be a local URL. The optional wildcard (*) can be used to copy multiple files
that share a common (partial) prefix and/or (partial) suffix.
When a file is copied to a destination with the same file name, the original file is overwritten by the new file
specified in the operation. The following prompt appears if the destination file already exists:
"Overwrite destination file (y/n)?"
For example:
To copy a file named srcfile in a directory called test on
in a directory called production on cf1, the syntax is:
sr1>file :\ # copy cf2-/test/srcfile/production/destfile
To FTP a file named 121201.cfg in directory mydir stored on cf1 to a network FTP server
with IP address 131.12.31.79 in a directory called backup with a destination file name
of 121201.cfg, the FTP syntax is:
copy /mydir/121201.cfg 131.12.31.79/backup/121201.cfg
Parameters
source-file-url — The location of the source file or directory to be copied.
