CMD, Path not filename

I am working with a VB.net project. I was using the command promt (cmd). I told the CMD to do: Copy /b path1 + path2 destination

However the cmd thought my path was a FileName. So how do i tell cmd that it is a path and not FileName.

//Thank you!

PS. the path are not the same so i could not use for example: CD C:\mydocs\

You need to put a \ at the end of the path to show copy that it's a directory.

EDIT: You need to put your path in quotes ("...") to force the shell's argument parser to pass the entire path as one.

Don’t use the command prompt for that, use the System.IO.File.Copy method of the .NET framework instead.

… obviously, the same goes for other methods that exist in the framework. If you don’t know whether a certain method exists, try searching the MSDN.
