Create script in CentOS4 to copy folder but promt user to enter name of destination


I need to create a script (which I have never done) that will allow me to copy a folder from one location to another, but the destination folder shuld be created according to what a user enters. Also, is there a way to run this bash by clicking on a PuTTY shortcut so it can be ran from Windows? Thanks in advanced for the help.
