There is no "copy" from a client to the server. You need to look into uploading. HTML provides <input type="file"> for this purpose. On the ASP side, you'll need some third party object to be able to handle the file data in the posted form.
This can be a complex issue so I'd recommend doing some searching for articles about uploading file in ASP.

Work smarter, not harder.
I woudl sugest looking at something like KIX script editor to copy files from client to server. It is very easy to do the KIX script and you could call the initial file from a button or link depending on your application. KIX also works well to modify profile related data e.g %username% stuff where batch files normally cause problems with spaces ect.
How to copy file?
