arch
(Archive)
Attribute
Setting a file’s Archive attribute affects how
MS-DOS and some applications create a
back-up file when you make changes to the
file.
rdonly
(Read Only)
Attribute
Setting a file or directory to Read-Only
protects the file from any changes or editing.
The file cannot be written to or deleted from
the storage device (hard disk or floppy).
sys
(System)
Attribute
The System attribute is used for system files
(
.SYS) required to start and run your
computer. Usually only a user familiar with
programming should modify this attribute.
System files are hidden in
MS-DOS directory
(
DIR command) listings, but LFM does display
system files.
hide
(Hide File)
Attribute
The Hide attribute “hides” the file from the
MS-DOS DIR and PRINT commands so that the
file is not displayed, read, or printed. However,
LFM does display, read, and print “hidden”
files.
Copy Command
The Copy command enables you to copy the highlighted
file, tagged files (see “Multiple File Operations” later in this
chapter), or an entire directory to another directory or to
the floppy drive.
To copy a file or directory, highlight the file or directory
name you want to copy, and press C.
LFM prompts at the
bottom of the screen
Path: [ ]
Type the pathname where you want the directory/file
copied to, and press ENTER.
