Answer 1

The script you shared echo cd E:apache-tomcat-9.0.41webapps just print cd E:apache-tomcat-9.0.41webapps, check the pic below. We could refer to this doc for more details.

We could copy the file via below cmd. Add task Command line and enter below script

cd {file path}
copy {file name} {target path}

According to the screenshot you shared, you could try below script

cd C:agent\_work
1a\_nitesh482.Devopswarfilewebapparget
copy webapp.war E:apache-tomcat-9.0.41webapps

Result:

Update1

If the file does not exist, we will get the message: The system cannot find the file specified. and error message: [error]Cmd.exe exited with code '1'

Update2

Please ensure that you are using self-hosted agent instead of hosted agent. If you are using hosted agent, we will get the error message, check the pic below.
