destination

Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s).

/V

Verifies that new files are written correctly.

/N

Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with a non-8dot3 name.

/Y

Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.

/-Y

Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.

/Z

Copies networked files in restartable mode.

/L

If the source is a symbolic link, copy the link to the target instead of the actual file the source link points to.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from within a batch script.

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).
