Hi Franklin,
Thanks a lot for your solutions.

it didn't work !!

Code:
#!/bin/bash
Source="/home/guest/source/"
Dest="/home/guest/source/Dest/"
tr ' ' '\n' < ${Source}input | while read file
do
  cp ${Source}${file} ${Dest}${file}
done

input
Code:
/xyz/Test/testsrc.c /xyz/nmake/build.mak /abc/1.c

got error as follows:
Code:
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest//xyz/Test/testsrc.c': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest//xyz/nmake/build.mak': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest//abc/1.c': No such file or directory

tried removing forward slash at the beginning of input file!
input
Code:
xyz/Test/testsrc.c xyz/nmake/build.mak abc/1.c

error:
Code:
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/testsrc.c': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/nmake/build.mak': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/abc/1.c': No such file or directory

I have those input files in Source directory and i also have necessary permissions to write in Dest as well.

any idea ?

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD

bhyveload

BHYVELOAD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      BHYVELOAD(8)

NAME

     bhyveload -- load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve virtual machine

SYNOPSIS

     bhyveload [-c cons-dev] [-d disk-path] [-e name=value] [-h host-path] [-m mem-size] vmname

DESCRIPTION

     bhyveload is used to load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve(4) virtual machine.

     bhyveload is based on loader(8) and will present an interface identical to the FreeBSD loader on the user's terminal.

     The virtual machine is identified as vmname and will be created if it does not already exist.

OPTIONS

     The following options are available:

     -c cons-dev
	     cons-dev is a tty(4) device to use for bhyveload terminal I/O.

	     The text string "stdio" is also accepted and selects the use of unbuffered standard I/O. This is the default value.

     -d disk-path
	     The disk-path is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.

     -e name=value
	     Set the FreeBSD loader environment variable name to value.

	     The option may be used more than once to set more than one environment variable.

     -h host-path
	     The host-path is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.

     -m mem-size [K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t]
	     mem-size is the amount of memory allocated to the guest.

	     The mem-size argument may be suffixed with one of K, M, G or T (either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of Kilobytes,
	     Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes respectively.

	     The default value of mem-size is 256M.

EXAMPLES

     To create a virtual machine named freebsd-vm that boots off the ISO image /freebsd/release.iso and has 1GB memory allocated to it:

	   bhyveload -m 1G -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm

     To create a virtual machine named test-vm with 256MB of memory allocated, the guest root filesystem under the host directory
     /user/images/test and terminal I/O sent to the nmdm(4) device /dev/nmdm1B

	   bhyveload -m 256MB -h /usr/images/test -c /dev/nmdm1B test-vm

SEE ALSO

     bhyve(4), nmdm(4), vmm(4), bhyve(8), loader(8)

HISTORY

     bhyveload first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0, and was developed at NetApp Inc.

AUTHORS

     bhyveload was developed by Neel Natu <neel@FreeBSD.org> at NetApp Inc with a lot of help from Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     bhyveload can only load FreeBSD as a guest.
