The system cannot find the path specified error when trying to copy

I made a button with this command

Copy "\\Amd\AMD_ROOT\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\itemsmod.ini" TO "C:\wamp64\www\fo76MVC\document_root\uploads\amd.ini"

I get the system cannot find the path specified error when trying to copy
The path must be correct because i got it by right clicking the file and copying the path.

What have I done wrong?

I think you just need to remove the filename from the end. The TO argument should be the directory where you want it to go.

(If the destination filename needs to be different to the source, you can specify it with the AS argument.)

Oh, I thought I could use it to also rename the file. Do I need to use a seperate command to rename?

AS argument. See the last line above.

I am sorry. Somehow I only read the first sentence of that post. I don't know how I missed that second part.

i made this user command that bound to the context menu and buttons.

@nodeselect
Copy TO "C:\Users\CLOUDEN\Documents\Notes MD\00 Inbox\Imports" AS="* - ImportedCopy" IGNOREEXT

this button moves...

Copy MOVE "C:\Users\CLOUDEN\Downloads_Web Clips MD*" TO "C:\Users\CLOUDEN\Documents\Notes MD\00 Inbox\Web Clips [sort]" WHENEXISTS=replace

try

Copy "\\Amd\AMD_ROOT\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\itemsmod.ini" TO "C:\wamp64\www\fo76MVC\document_root\uploads\" AS="amd" IGNOREEXT WHENEXISTS=replace

Thanks what does ignore text do?

it renames the file, while Ignoring the Extension

newfilename.ini <the .ini wont change

You could also do AS="amd.ini" without needing IGNOREEXT.

That sounds handy. Thanks. everything is working good now

Thanks leo that is what I went with. For this button the file must be named amd.ini even if the original is foo.json

dopus can be wonderfully confusing and complex sometimes, like photoshop, theres more than one way to get the same job\effect done depend on which menu\command you approach it from
