Even better... Now you can get rid of the find too:
Code:
for c in ../../bla/bla/*.xyz
do	cp "$c" ".${c##*/}"
done

If there aren't any matching files, you'lll get a diagnostic from cp saying something like:
Code:
cp: ../../bla/bla/*.xyz: No such file or directory

and a non-zero exit from your script.

P.S.: Note that (as mentioned before) this code won't copy hidden files.
