This will copy that one file. The target filename is not required but can be left in.

copy "c:\folder1\folder2\imgoo1.png" "D:\folder1\folder2\imgoo1.png"

This assumes that the folders already exist.

robocopy "c:\folder1\folder2" "d:\folder1\folder2" "img0001.jpg"

Since robocopy is not included in windows XP, this can be done with plain xcopy

xcopy "c:\folder1\folder2\img0001.jpg" "d:\folder1\folder2\"

for %%f in (img001.png img002.jpg img003.png) do copy /b "c:\folder1\folder2\%%f" "d:\folder1\folder2\"

Note that thw directory separator in windows is \, not /. / is used as a command-switch - /b in the above case means "copy in binary mode'.

Note that you do not say whether the batch should check whether the destination directory exists or whether the destination filename already exists.

md "d:\folder1\folder2" 2>nul

will force the destination filename to exist (2>nul suppresses the 'already exists ' message)

You can add an extra switch /y to the copy command to force overwrite in the case that the destination file already exists.

You can add >nul to the copy command to suppress the 1 file copied message.
