Copy File

Category: Files

Copies one file from `from` to `to`. If `to` points to an existing folder, the file is copied into that folder and keeps its current file name. If `to` does not point to an existing folder, it is interpreted as the full target file path. If `overwrite` is false, the block fails when the resulting target file path already exists. Missing parent folders are not created automatically. Use `createFolder` first when the destination folder does not exist. This block reads from `from` and writes to `to`, so both filesystem read and write permissions can matter.

Notes

• Filesystem read/write statement that copies one file to another path.
• If to points to an existing folder, the source file is copied into that folder and keeps its original file name.
• If to does not point to an existing folder, it is interpreted as the full target file path.
• Fails on existing targets unless overwrite=true.
• Missing parent folders are not created automatically. Create them first with createFolder when needed.
