if you are using glibc it may be better to use:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>

char *buf;
asprintf(&buf,"cp %s/%s",src,dst); /* do not forget error check */
system(buf);
free(buf);

the advantage is that you have no limits for pathlenght.
you can also emulate asprintf with 2 calls to snprintf()
