copying a file from one directory to another
Hi

This is my first day in Unix, and I am trying to copy a file called
holiday.txt from my D drive into the C drive folder called h

like currently i am in D drive, i want to copy my holiday.txt into
C\h (C drive, h folder)

i am able to copy the file in the same drive, but how to do the above
task?

Also, do i need to give the file extension names of the files i want to
copy or move..because if i dont mention the extensions, i am getting
error like

mv: cannot stat 'file' : No such file or directory

cpmcp

CPMCP(1)							   User commands							  CPMCP(1)

NAME

       cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M disks

SYNOPSIS

       cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file file
       cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file ... directory
       cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file user:file
       cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file ... user:

DESCRIPTION

       cpmcp  copies  one or more files to or from a CP/M disk.  When copying multiple files, the last argument must be a drive or directory.  The
       drive letter does not matter because the device is specified by the image, it is only used to specify which direction  you  want  to  copy.
       The user number is specified after the drive letter, if omitted user 0 is used.

       You can use * and ? in CP/M file names, which have the same meaning in sh(1) file name patterns.

OPTIONS

       -f format
	      Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format.

       -p     Preserve time stamps when copying files from CP/M to UNIX (not implemented for copying the other way so far).

       -t     Convert text files between CP/M and UNIX conventions.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.

ERRORS

       Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.

FILES

       /etc/cpmtools/diskdefs	CP/M disk format definitions
