Copying the file from the remote server to local computer

Hi all,
I would like to copy a file from the remote server to the computer. I used this command below but I did not work
copy \\cob-filep-01\groups\IT\Systems Support and Operation\Long\tst.txt c:\long
I received this error msg.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Could you give me some idea, please? I might use the incorrect command.

it said the network name cannot be found. It used this:
copy "\\cob-filep-01\groups$\IT\Systems Support and Operation\Long\tst.txt" c:\long
ARe you sure it is a good location? I am going to go back to using Windows Explorer. See if you can browse to that file with Windows Explorer...
If c:\long is the directory you want to copy it to then you need a slash at the end

copy "\\cob-filep-01\groups$\IT\Systems Support and Operation\Long\tst.txt" c:\long\

Otherwise if long is the filename then you need.

copy "\\cob-filep-01\groups$\IT\Systems Support and Operation\Long\tst.txt" c:\long.txt
