1. Use the Copy Command to Transfer Specific Files

Right-click the Start button and choose “Command Prompt (Admin)” to open CMD.

To copy files, use the copy command from the command line.

copy c:\myfile.txt e:

The command above will copy “myfile.txt” from the C: drive to the E: drive.

copy *.txt e:

The above command copies all text files in the current directory to the E: drive using a wildcard.

copy d:\example.xls

The command above copies the “example.xls” file from the D: drive to the current directory. We
didn’t indicate a destination; by default, the current directory is utilized if the goal isn’t supplied.

2. Using the Xcopy Command to Copy All Files

Xcopy is a command that copies files or groups of files between directories. It’s convenient for
copying data to and from a fixed drive.

Step 1. To find cmd, go to Start and type cmd into the search box. From the list, right-click Command
Prompt and choose “Run as administrator”.

Step 2. Now, in the command prompt, type the Xcopy command to copy folders and subfolders,
including their contents, as shown below.

If you want to copy the “test” folder and its subfolders from the C drive to the D disc, use the Xcopy
command as follows:
Xcopy C:\test D:\test /E /H /C /I

/E — Copies all subdirectories, including any that are empty.

/H – Copies files that are hidden or have system file attributes.

/C – Even if an error occurs, keep copying.

/I – Always presume the destination is a folder if in question.

A command-line interface differs from a graphical user interface, considering that it is text-only. A
high learning curve, more space for error, a vast number of instructions, and the inability to figure
anything out by research are all downsides of the command line interface.
