I am not sure this belongs in this forum. Sorry, could not find one for DOS.

In a bactch file I need to copy a file from a server to somebody’s c: drive. The server names goes like this:
bp1xxxx019group
I get error messages when I try to use: xcopy bp1xxxx019groupfilename c:foldername
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

You have only a single backslash before the server name, I assume that is just a typo.
Does either or the paths / filenames contain spaces? If so, put quotes around the full path:

xcopy "bp1xxxx019groupfile name" "c:folder name"

That did it!

If Hans’ advice does not fix it please post the exact text of the error messages.

The error message was ‘ invalid parameters’
However, Hans’ advice worked like a charm.
Thanks to both of you!
