Hi,
Can anyone explain me the usage of mcopy command and also the difference between copy and mcopy. As per my understanding through both we can copy multiple files or DOS files . Any help on this will be really helpful.
The mcopy command is used to copy MS-DOS files to and from Unix. It uses the following syntax:
mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
Mcopy copies the specified file to the named file, or copies multiple files to the named directory. The source and target can be either MSDOS or Unix files. The use of a drive letter designation on the MSDOS files, 'a:' for example, determines the direction of the transfer. A missing drive designation implies a Unix file whose path starts in the current directory. If a source drive letter is specified with no attached file name (e.g. "mcopy a: ."), all files are copied from that drive.
If only a single, MSDOS source parameter is provided (e.g. "mcopy a:foo.exe"), an implied destination of the current directory (".") is assumed.
Thanks a lot vivek.
Since get and put are used only for single file, but copy command can do for multiple using the * option. Correct me if am wrong.
For eg: cp abc* <target directory> --will copy multiple files
I am really sorry dude....I mistakenly gave wrong answer..pelase find the updated answer above
