cmd System cannot find file

Question

I have a very weird resule in cmd, the current folder is test :

c:\test>

with

c:\test\>dir
10/04/2013  18:06    <REP>          10042013

in the folder test I've put a exe : oggenc.exe

c:\test\>copy oggenc.exe 10042013

Although when I do a copy the system tells me it cannot find the specified file

I really can't understand what's going wrong, can you please help me ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check to see if you have the appropriate permissions. In my test case I was able to create a folder "C:\test" but not copy my own %userprofile% into "C:\test"

when I opened the cmd as administrator it worked just fine!

Answer 2

xcopy /h oggenc.exe 10042013 

Does the trick, my file was hidden that's why copy couldn't do the job, problem solved, thank you.

Answer 3

That's because c:\test\copy isn't an executable. copy is.
