The Master Welcome disk came with a program called CopyFiles which will
do this.  It'll run on a BBC B too.  If it's not at TBL!, try 8bs.

Alternatively, if you are using a Master, you can specify the source and
destination filing systems in the copy command like this:

*Copy -disc-:0.$.File -adfs-:1.$.File

will copy 'File' from the DFS disc in drive 0 to the ADFS disc in drive
1.  Might be useful if you only need to copy a few files over.  

You can use it with any filing system:

*Copy -net-:0.254.$.File -disc-:0.$.File

to copy 'File' from the Econet server on 0.254 to DFS disc in drive 0.
