The Copy method copies files or folders only within the same Web site. You cannot copy across Web sites. However, you can use the SaveAs method for the PageWindow object to save a page whose file is located in one Web site to save the page to a file in another Web site. Or you can use the Add method for the WebFile object to add a file that is currently located in one Web site to another Web site.
