Copy File(s) Action

Description

Copies one or more files you specify from source to destination. Wildcards are supported.

Copy File(s) Action Properties Dialog
Copy File(s) dialog

Parameters

Source
The path of the file(s) you wish to copy. This can be an absolute path to one file, or a wildcard to a set of files.

Destination
The full path of the filename you wish to copy to. When copying a wildcard path, set the Destination to the folder to copy to, followed by a backslash. For example, to copy a single zip file, set Source to “c:\source\myfile.zip”, and Destination to “c:\destination\myfile.zip”. To copy all zip files from the folder, set Source to “c:\source\*.zip”, and Destination to “C:\MyZipFiles\”

Notes

Be aware when using wildcards that specify c:\windows\*.* as the source, it will also copy the sub-folders in the Windows folder if there are any (following Windows, not DOS, standards). As of this writing, there is no solution to this behavior except to use a legacy batch file.
