The document explains that the DOS 'copy' command assumes the current directory as the destination if left blank. Similarly, the Unix 'cp' command also defaults to the current directory when no destination is specified. An example illustrates that one can copy a file without typing the full path if already in the same directory.

When you use the DOS COPY command you can assume many defaults. In f.pdf
- 1. When you use the DOS COPY command you can assume many defaults. In fact you can leave the name of the destination blank, and DOS will assume that the destination is the current directory. Will the UNIX cp command work if you leave the destination blank? a. Yes. The cp command will assume you want to copy to the current directory B. No. You must specify a destination. Solution a. Yes. The cp command will assume you want to copy to the current directory If we leave the destination path blank, it mean that we are copying a file to current directory. For example myfile.txt is located in /home/monkey/Documents. We don’t have to type/home/monkey/Documents/myfile.txt to copy myfile.txt if we are in that /home/monkey/Documents directory. While /home/monkey/office is a folder where the file will be copied.
