This is probably a simple question, but I cannot remember the syntax, if I
wanted to copy a file from the folder that batch file is running from it has
a syntax similar to

xcopy \.\file.txt c:\DestinationFolder\

I cannot remember the current folder syntax and unable to find a reference
on the web. Using XP Pro SP2

Click to expand...

..\

or just the filename.

(ie: xcopy .\file.ext "c:\temp directory\with\long folder\name\")
 
I had already tried that and it didn't work, maybe worth mentioning that this
is run from a logon script.
 
I also get this wierd behavior copying from a FAT32 partition to a NTFS
partition
Also I have to use < D.txt because the /i switch doesn't work either.
