I have one file 'Easy Unlock Method With SAM.mp4' which is in a pendrive, I would like to copy this file to Hard disk E:\ using the command line but some how i could not do it
I switch from C: to I: which is the USB pendrive and give the command copy Easy Unlock Method With SAM.mp4 E: ( not working)
copy Easy Unlock Method With SAM.mp4 E:\ (not working)
copy I:\Easy Unlock Method With SAM.mp4 E:\ ( not working)

What should I Do ?

Which OS you are in?

If I remember, the file name with spaced are not recognized in that way in XP. it would be something like Easy~1.mp4 or something like that. Do a DIR command to check what the file name is.

In Windows Visa and 7, the file names with spaces are like "Saved Games". NOTE : Within " " quotes.

I guess, its the file name with spaces that denied you..
try
Code:
COPY I:\"Easy Unlock Method With SAM.mp4" E:\

^^As I said, ofcourse it's. DOS doesn't recognize file name with spaces. Instead he needs to use "" as you and I both said above.

I was not sure. But thanks for confirming :)
