**`dav copy [-pcO] [-L <lock>] <url1> <url2>`**

Creates a duplicate of the resource identified by *url1* at the location *url2*. All resource properties are copied. Currently *url1* and *url2* must be the same host. 

If *url1* is a collection, all children are copied.

If *url2* already exists, the command aborts, unless the `-O` option is specified.

The command uses a single WebDAV COPY request to duplicate the resources.
You may use file name and path decryption to copy an encrypted resource.
Please note that the copy will always be located at *url2*, so the top most collection name will not be disguised.
See [encryption][2] for more details on how encryption works.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption for *url1*

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption for *url1*

**`-O`** overwrite the destination resource

**`-L <lock>`** use a lock token. See [dav lock][1]
