Have you tried the JiffyDOS built-in file copier? I would be

It's very irritating to use but at least it's there, and would use
JiffyDOS speeds.
The JiffyDOS file copier works great with uIEC; I use it frequently.
It of course requires the computer you're using to have JiffyDOS
installed (I haven't been following this thread closely enough to know
if James has JDOS), and it's very slow unless the other drive also has
JDOS.
I don't find it *too* irritating to use, but it certainly isn't overly
user-friendly:
1. Set the destination drive with the @X command. To set the
destination to drive 9: @X9
2. Use CTRL-D to cycle to the source drive.
3. Load the source directory: /$
4. LIST the directory
5. Mark the files you want to copy with CTRL-W or use CTRL-A to mark
them all.
6. RUN and the copying will begin.
Even with JDOS on the drives it's kind of slow, but at least it's
there and it works.

I'd really like to get fcopy to work, as it is very user friendly, but I
need someone with some ASM skills and a bit of time to help me debug. I
can set uIEC to respond with the correct magic memory values for fcopy
to believe uIEC is a CMD HD, but a directory listing for selecting files
fails, and I do not know why.
Robin, would you be willing to help, if I gave you a special firmware to
try?
Jim
