| **Source Environment**      | Specify the type of file system containing the files you want to copy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Source File/Folder**      | Specify the file or directory you want to copy. Click **Browse** to to navigate to the source file or folder through the VFS browser. See [VFS browser](/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/data-integration-perspective-in-the-pdi-client/virtual-file-system-browser/vfs-browser-connecting-to-virtual-file-systems.md) for more information. |
| **Wildcard (RegExp)**       | Specify the files to copy with regular expressions instead of static file names. For example, `.*\.txt` selects all files with a `.txt` extension.                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Destination Environment** | Specify the file system where you want to put your copied files.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| **Destination File/Folder** | Specify the file or directory where you want to place your copied file. Click **Browse** and select **Hadoop** to enter your Hadoop cluster connection details.                                                                                                                                                                                         |

**Note:** The source environment and destination environments must be the same.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-job-entries-reference-overview/hadoop-copy-files/options-hadoop-copy-files-job/filesfolders-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
