you need to have user write permissions on /dev/fd0
or any other device. Your administrator must chmod 766 /dev/fd0.

Though the syntax may look superficially similar, that's about the only
connection between mmove and mcopy.

I don't know about you, but have a look what it complains about:
frcatel:~$ mmove a: /archive/users/peterp/pokus
Path component "archive" is not a directory

As I do not use mtools very often, I am not sure if this helps but it does
not harm to try out:
mmove a:*.* /dos/whatever
I have not tried it though.
All the best,

Agreed, the correct solution is to add yourself to the floppy group.

This is a BAD THING(tm). Especially if you are somehow connected to other
computers.
Anyone can read and *wipe* the disk !
Try cat /dev/fd0 to read it or cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0 to wipe it. Or the
dd command.

This should be:

Try using mcopy and mdel like this:
mcopy a:'*' .
mdel a:'*' .
It looks like mtools need both the source and destination, a simple
"mcopy a:" is not enough. The single quotes let * pass all the way to
mtools programs which then do the file name expansion.
