    MCOPY(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             MCOPY(1)

    NAME
         mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix

    SYNOPSIS
         mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile targetfile

         mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirec-
         tory

    DESCRIPTION
         Mcopy copies the specified file to the named file, or copies
         multiple files to the named directory.  The source and tar-
         get 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

         Mcopy will allow the following command line options:

         t    Text file transfer.  Mcopy will translate incoming car-
              riage return/line feeds to line feeds.

         n    No warning.  Mcopy will not warn the user when
              overwriting an existing file.

         v    Verbose mode.

         m    Preserve the file modification time.

         If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not
         in effect, mcopy asks whether or not to overwrite the file.

         MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
         or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
         will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
         them from the shell.

         The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the
         current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
         default is A:/.

    SEE ALSO
         mcd(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)

    BUGS
         Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.

         The '+' operator (append) from MSDOS is not supported.

    MCOPY(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             MCOPY(1)

         No other Mtools command requires the use of a drive letter
         designation on MSDOS files.
