Using COPY with the RUN command is not safe; COPY is an internal command, and the RUN will fail on some platforms. If you have to use COPY, you need to explicitly invoke a command processor with the RUN statement:

RUN COMMAND /C COPY /B Filename known, platform format dependent device id

The avoidance of the command processor invocation, and the platform-specific device name format, are the main reasons to use the CopyFile() API or an automation object like Scripting.FileSystemObject to do the work.
