You can compile any java source using javac in command line ; eg, javac CopyFile.java. To run : java CopyFile. You can also compile all java files using javac *.java as long as they're in the same directory

If you're having an issue resulting with "could not find or load main class" you may not have jre in your path. Have a look at this question: Could not find or load main class
