# rclone copy
Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied.
Copy files from source to dest, skipping identical files.
## Synopsis
Copy the source to the destination. Doesn't transfer
unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or
MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files from the destination.
Copy the source to the destination. Does not transfer files that are
identical on source and destination, testing by size and modification
time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files from the destination.
Note that when the source is a directory, it is always the contents
of the directory that is copied, not the directory itself.
Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced,
not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the
contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and
contents.
For example, given the following command:
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
go there.
For example
rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath
Let's say there are two files in source:
Let's say there are two files in sourcepath
sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt
The command will copy them to:
This copies them to
destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt
Not to:
Not to
destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt
Also note that the destination is always a directory. If the path
does not exist, it will be created as a directory and the contents of
the source will be copied into it. This is the case even if the source
path points to a file. If you want to copy a single file to a different
name you must use [copyto](commands/rclone_copyto/) instead.
For example, given the command:
rclone copy source:sourcepath/one.txt dest:destpath/one.txt
Rclone will create a directory `dest:destpath/one.txt` and put the source file in there:
dest:destpath/one.txt/one.txt
Not copy the single source file as a file with the given destination path,
which would be the result if copyto had been used instead:
dest:destpath/one.txt
If you are familiar with `rsync`, rclone always works as if you had
written a trailing `/` - meaning "copy the contents of this directory".
This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the
