Copy F5, Shift + F5, Ctrl + F5
The Copy command allows you to copy files and subdirectories.
There are four ways you can use this command:
. You can copy the file or directory under the cursor
bar in a file panel.
. You can copy a group of files and directories that
you've marked with the Ins key or Select group,
Unselect group and Invert group.
. You can type in the name of the file to copy (or a
group of files if you use DOS wildcard characters).
Press Shift + F5 or hold down Shift when you select
Copy from the Files menu.
. You can copy one file or directory under the cursor
bar even if some files and directories were marked.
Press Ctrl + F5 or hold down Ctrl when you select
Copy from the Files menu.
Pressing F5 (or selecting Copy) brings up a dialog box like:
+--------------------- Copy ---------------------+
| Copy "somefile.ext" to |
| _ |
-------------------------------------------------|
| [ Copy ] [ F10-Tree ] [ Cancel ] |
+------------------------------------------------+
There are three ways you can select where to copy the
file(s) to:
. Type the name of the directory where you want to copy
the file or directory to (or the name of a new file
if you're copying one file).
. Press F10 to bring up a pop-up directory tree of the
current disk and select a directory from this tree.
Alt-F10 brings up directory tree of the target disk.
. Set up the Commander so there are two file panels,
with the inactive panel showing the directory to
which you want to copy the files.
Canceling Copy:
Press Esc at any time to stop copying files.
Overwriting or Appending Files:
If the target file already exists, you'll be asked.
You can choose owerwritting or appending.
Note: This command deletes the treeinfo.ncd file when you
rename or move directories.
