So, what's so wonderful? If access denied, it is denied. First of all, use legitimate file locations, never hard-coded. Or run your application under elevated privileges...
I don't know why your question needs an answer — you already answered it by yourself...

thanks for reply..I had use sourcepath="C:\GeneratedFile\Test.txt" and DestinationPath="\\WebServer\GeneratedFile\Test.txt".
What's Wrong??

try with Full Qualified Name like "C:\Users\Jack\Documents\TEMP\directoryB\file.txt" for both source & destination path.

Probably, it's a permissions problem.

When you do a file copy from the command line, you are running it as the logged in user: so the destination folder is accessed using the user permissions.
When your service runs, it does not run as a "normal" user - because no user has been logged in when the services are started - so it acquires different permissions.
You either need to assign the service to a particular account, or give appropriate access permissions to your destination folder.
