Hi Paradorn,

Have you tried the destination path with double quotes? add %~fi in double-quotes, Try this
"%~fi" "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder\MyFolder"

Full Line:
For /r "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder" %i in (*.jpg) do copy "%~fi" "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder\MyFolder" /Y

"%~fi" will ensure that the full path of each found file is treated as a single argument

Thank you.

When working with folder names that contain spaces in the command line, it is essential to enclose the entire path in double quotes. In your case, the command should be modified to ensure that both the source and destination paths are correctly quoted.
```
For /r "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder" %i in (*.jpg) do copy "%~fi" "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder\MyFolder" /Y
```
- The source path "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\New Folder" is enclosed in quotes to handle spaces.
- The %~fi variable is also enclosed in quotes to ensure that the full file path is correctly interpreted, even if it contains spaces.
