Command and Utility Summary
Net Copy
Purpose
The net copy command copies files across the network from a source to a
destination.
Syntax
net copy source[+source[+...]] [/a | /b] [destination [/a | /b] [/v]]
where
source
Specifies one or more files, directories, or devicenames to copy. You can specify
multiple files by separating filenames with a plus sign (+) or by using MS-DOS
wildcard characters.
destination
Specifies to which file, directory, or devicename source copies.
/a
Treats the source or destination as ASCII text.
/b
Treats the source or destination as a binary file.
/v
Verifies that information is properly recorded on the destination disk.
Comments
The net copy command is similar to the MS-DOS copy command, but it is
much faster for copying between directories on a server. You don’t have to
connect to shared directories to use the net copy command. LAN Manager
Enhanced makes the connections for you during a copy.
You usually use the net copy command to copy files, but source can also be
a directory (to copy all files in the directory), a devicename (such as A:, to
copy all files in the current directory of drive A), or the MS-DOS con
command (to copy what you type at the keyboard). Destination can be a
devicename (such as LPT1:, to copy to the device connected to LPT1) or it
can be a network path.
