Copy files and folders

Image
The Copy command allows you to copy files from one location to another. To use this command you have to type “copy location\filename.extension newlocation\newname.extension”. For example, let's use this command to copy the Picture1.jpg file from the Digital_Citizen folder located on the “D:” drive to the “D:\Digital_Citizen\Digital_Citizen_Tests\ folder. To make things more interesting we want the file to be named Testing_Picture1.gif. We will write the command “copy D:\Digital_Citizen\picture1.jpg D:\Digital_Citizen\Digital_Citizen_Tests\testing_picture1.gif” followed by Enter. You will receive a confirmation of the operation, as you can see below. If you are copying within the same directory you don't have to put the path in command. As an example, we will copy Digital_Citizen_Notes.txt from “D:\Digital_Citizen” in the same folder, only with a different extension: let's say Digital_Citizen_Notes.doc. To do that, we have to run the command “copy Di...

How to navigate between folders

Image
The first command from the list is CD (Change Directory) . This command enables you to change the current folder or, in other words, to navigate to another folder from your computer. For instance, the command CD\ takes you to the top of the directory tree. To see how it works, after you open the Command Prompt, type cd\ and press Enter on your keyboard. You will see that the CD\ command takes you to the top of the directory tree (in this case to the “C:” drive). NOTE: Command Prompt is not case sensitive, meaning that commands can be typed with capital letters, lowercase or any combination of them. The commands CD, cd or Cd will all work in the same way. Going back to the “CD\” command, now you are working on the root of the “C:” drive. If you need to go to a specific folder from this drive run the command “CD Folder”. The subfolders must be separated by a backslash character: “\”. For instance, when you need to access the System32 folder located in “C:\Windows”, type “c...
