Hi Experts

Could you point how to correctly copy a file to a subfolder by using COPY FILE ?

Accordingly with this code:
	*-- Runs OK
		Copy File &LCZIPFILE To &LCDRIVE

		*-- Doesn't runs

		m.driver_final = LCDRIVE + "Espiriplug\"
		Copy File &LCZIPFILE To &driver_final
*-- OR
		Copy FILE(LCZIPFILE) to (driver_final)

Of course, the way how to copy the file to a subfolder without its target specification also exists - you must not use backslash at the end of the path.  This way has one drawback: If the subfolder does not exist then VFP creates the file named like the subfolder, so 
lcDrive = "E:\"
driver_final = m.lcDrive + "Espiriplug"
COPY FILE (m.lcZipFile) TO (m.driver_final)  && copies the file into E:\Espiriplug subfolder if it exists
driver_final = m.lcDrive + "EspiriplugXYZ"
COPY FILE (m.lcZipFile) TO (m.driver_final)  && copies the file into E:\EspiriplugXYZ file
