if ADir(temp,JustPath('C:\X\Y\A.*'),"D")=0
  messagebox('Master directory does not exist')
else
  if ADir(temp,JustPath('A:\X\Y\A.*'),"D")=0
    md (JustPath('A:\X\Y\A.*'))
    COPY FILE 'C:\X\Y\A.*' TO 'A:\X\Y\A.*'
  endif
endif

or more generic:

lcMasterfile='C:\X\Y\A.*'
lcTargetfile='A:\X\Y\A.*'
if ADir(temp,JustPath(lcMasterfile),"D")=0
  messagebox('Master directory does not exist')
else
  if ADir(temp,JustPath(lcTargetfile'),"D")=0
    md (JustPath(lcTargetfile))
    COPY FILE (lcMasterfile) TO (lcTargetfile)
  endif
endif
