With a single floppy system try in Workbench/execute command or Shell:

Diskcopy df0: df0:

First you have to prepare the target disc with:

format df0:
install df0:

You can do it by operating from Workbench too:

- Put target disc and format it by clicking on its icon and selecting icon/format with ffs option.
- Put Source WB disc, click on its icon, select wb option menu icon/copy and follow instructions.

I don't remember but I believe you have to install first the target disc...

If i recall correctly, wb disks cannot be copied from the worbench. You will have to use x-copy or another kind of copier.
