REQ: info on how to copy file via commandline [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm using phonealarm. It has an option to run a certain program when a profile is activated. I'd like to run a command which will:
1) delete a file
2) copy a file from the storage card to program files
3) rename this file
What's the best way to achieve this? Cheers...

if it's a console one would expect normal dos cmds to work like this
http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/

Sorry for my ignorance on WinMobile, but that webpage seems to have info only for win9x etc....

as I said if it's a console then one would expect that normal dos commands works

Never mind, fixed with a simple mortscript...
Code:
copy "\storage card\profiles\work.png", "\storage card\profiles\current.png", 1

We haz root but I haz more questions!

I downloaded the Android SDK on the website and the drivers from MotoDev and placed them on my desktop. I ran the drivers and they installed fine. I unzipped the SDK, created a new folder in my C: drive called AndroidSDK and placed the unzipped folder in that folder.
I opened Command Prompt and entered:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools
then entered:
fastboot oem unlock
and got this error:
This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this issue.
I then went into the SDK and read the readme where it says that adb was moved. It says it was moved to platforms. When I open the folder there is nothing in there.

try the path that ends with "platform-tools" instead
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Ok I figured it out. I clicked on something and it brought up a repo. I download the missing platform-tools.
I ran the commands again and I'm still getting the errors. Should I copy everything from platform-tools into the tools directory?

I tried that also. I forgot to add that in my first post. There is nothing inside that folder. Am I missing adb? Is there a way to download it and drop it into that folder? I'm lost on this.
Thanks.

Did you open the SDK Manager and make sure all your packages are updated?

I did do that but cancelled after it installed the platform-tools. Should I let it download everything? It looked like it was going to take a long ass time.
**** I ended up downloading all the updates for 3.1 and entered the commands again. This time it was able to cd into the platform-tools but I can't enter the command fastboot oem unlock because I get error:
"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Just my luck...

fastboot is in the "tools" folder, not the "platform-tools" folder.

Ok I changed CD but now it's telling me it can't find a file that's located in platform-tools. Should I copy all the files from platform-tools and move them into the tools folder?
*********************************************************
Ok. I moved the file and it worked. My Xoom is unlocking. I have the worst luck when I borrow someone else's laptop.

Copy any files it tells you it can't find. I haven't encountered that issue myself, but that's the solution I've seen others recommend.

I'd like to thank Gnac and the other people who helped me achieve root with the issues I was having.
Anyway I have an SD card in my Xoom and I don't think it's working like it should. I downloaded a file manager, loaded a .zip on there of a theme I want to install but when I boot into recovery it's not there.
I've verified it's in the SDcard with the file manager and it's in .zip format. I'd prefer to flash it instead of adb'ing it because I keep all my .zip organized in folders on my SD card. Before inserting the SD card in the Xoom I did wipe it.
I'm rooted 3.1 and I have Busybox installed. I'm running:

Any ideas how I can get the files to be seen in recovery?

Find Bluestacks SD Card Location in Your PC

Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

PLEASE QUOTE FOR FURTHER INFO.

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
(Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)

"Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card"
What do you mean?
Anyways... I wanted to find and open the obb folder. How?

Help, no such folder present

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....

you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there

Shared Folder problam
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ Shared Folder\0

YEAH! Finally found it again! Thanks mate

Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?

How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..

i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks

Something to make a list of a folder's content

I'm searching, 3 days of research, but it seems there is not an app, a simple thing for listing the content of a directory to make a text document or similar.
Tons of software for windows, freeware or not, but nothing for android. Is it possible???
I need to list my music direcory content (many many files, about 2k) and no windows software can manage the external sd of my phone (asus zenfone 3 with nougat); i can read, transfer, erase or play files but i can't make a list o musical files.
I'm getting nervous, can someone help me???

1. Download terminal emulator.
2. Go to the directory using "cd" command. I hope you know basic linux.commands
3. type "ls > filename.txt"
I'm not sure it would work on Android. I don't have my phone right now to check this. Atleast you can try.

I tried it using Termux app and it worked. You need to give storage permission to the app to access​ sd card.

Yes, i do, writing "su" as first command in terminal... is it correct? Then various cd till music folder and the "ls..."...

su
cd /
ls ( to check whether you're​ on the root directory)
cd /sdcard/*YOUR MUSIC FOLDER*/
ls ( this will list all the files in the corrent folder)
ls > ./music.txt
If this didn't work can you tell me the address to your music directory? Let me give you exact steps.
Cheers!
