Usage


Options


Example(s)
Copy a file into the C:\SS64\ directory:

PS C:\>Copy-Item C:\temp\demo.txt -destination C:\SS64

Copy the entire contents of the work folder into the backup\June folder:

C:\PS>Copy-Item C:\work -destination C:\backup\June -recurse

The -recurse option ensures any subdirectories will be copied intact. The -container parameter is set to true by default, this preserves the directory structure. The June folder will be created if it does not already exist.
