when copying, try using the full pathname for the test directory. like /home/killah/test or something like that.

take this format here

cp /home/user/floorplan.sxw /home/test/

the first location is where it is now, the next location is where it is going. if it is to be in some directory yet to be created make sure to create it first with mkdir directoryname
