in thread file copy from windows system

Can you suggest if something needs to be corrected?

Yes. When you are copying binary files, (like .zip files), you should be using the /b option. See copy /? for more information.

If this works then I need to try copying large log files of size in GBs.

Replace the copy command with the robocopy command. (Rob[ust]copy) and use the /Z option.

Type robocopy /? for more information.
