Usage Guidelines

If the destination file name is the same as the name of an existing directory, the source file is copied to the specified directory. The name of the file that is newly generated in this directory is the same as the source file name. If the destination file name is the same as an existing file, the system prompts you whether to overwrite the existing file.

If you intend to copy a destination file, namely, a PAF, License, or configuration file, it is recommended that the directory and name of the destination file differ from the settings in the current startup file; otherwise, the system not only prompts you whether to overwrite the destination file, but also whether to overwrite the file in use.
