使用批处理文件复制文件...窗口

Question

I have a file copyfiles.bat and i want to do the following inside of my batch file:

 copy "C:\temp\file1.txt" "c:\users\me\my directory"
 copy "C:\temp\dir2\file2.txt" "c:\users\me\my directory\dir2"

I save and run the batch file and nothing is being copied. All files and directories exist. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

Try xcopy command instead of copy. Here is official docs about it

Answer 2

Give file name for destination path also like below

copy "C:\\temp\\file1.txt" "c:\\users\\me\\my directory\\file1.txt"

Sometimes directory names with space in between will also cause issue.I faced such an issue once. Please check with directory names without space in between.

To replace the existing file /Y option is also required, which will suppress the prompt for asking whether you want to replace.
