I have done it both ways you have recommended and it still tells me the
file or directory does not exist. I have written the file name as it
was downloaded in caps where there are caps and I have written it in
lowercase letters and still the message tells me the file does not
exist. This just plain bumfuzzles me.
When I did it the last way you show I used the quotation marks as you
showed. Still, file does not exist.
Question, if a file type is unknown can it be copied, moved or whatever?
