By default, the entry type is Keyword files, and that's why typing in *.* doesn't work and is considered an invalid file name. When the entry type is already ALL files, you can just put in a single asterisk (dots 1-6 or SPACE with dots 3-5 for BT users) to copy everything in a folder, because the BN knows that you mean all types of files, regardless of extension. > > BTW, you will be asked if you wish to verify or not the files to be copied.
