File.Copy Method

Definition

Copies an existing file to a new file.

Overloads

Copy(String, String)

Copies an existing file to a new file. Overwriting a file of the same name is not allowed.

Copy(String, String, Boolean)

Copies an existing file to a new file. Overwriting a file of the same name is allowed.

Copy(String, String)

Copies an existing file to a new file. Overwriting a file of the same name is not allowed.

public:
 static void Copy(System::String ^ sourceFileName, System::String ^ destFileName);
public static void Copy (string sourceFileName, string destFileName);
static member Copy : string * string -> unit
Public Shared Sub Copy (sourceFileName As String, destFileName As String)

Parameters

sourceFileName
String

The file to copy.

destFileName
String

The name of the destination file. This cannot be a directory or an existing file.

Exceptions

The caller does not have the required permission.

sourceFileName or destFileName is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one or more invalid characters. You can query for invalid characters by using the GetInvalidPathChars() method.

-or-

sourceFileName or destFileName specifies a directory.

sourceFileName or destFileName is null.

The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length.

The path specified in sourceFileName or destFileName is invalid (for example, it is on an unmapped drive).

sourceFileName was not found.

destFileName exists.

-or-

An I/O error has occurred.

sourceFileName or destFileName is in an invalid format.

Examples

The following example copies files to the C:\archives\2008 backup folder. It uses the two overloads of the Copy method as follows:

  • It first uses the File.Copy(String, String) method overload to copy text (.txt) files. The code demonstrates that this overload does not allow overwriting files that were already copied.

  • It then uses the File.Copy(String, String, Boolean) method overload to copy pictures (.jpg files). The code demonstrates that this overload does allow overwriting files that were already copied.

string sourceDir = @"c:\current";
string backupDir = @"c:\archives\2008";

try
{
    string[] picList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.jpg");
    string[] txtList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt");

    // Copy picture files.
    foreach (string f in picList)
    {
        // Remove path from the file name.
        string fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1);

        // Use the Path.Combine method to safely append the file name to the path.
        // Will overwrite if the destination file already exists.
        File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName), true);
    }

    // Copy text files.
    foreach (string f in txtList)
    {

        // Remove path from the file name.
        string fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1);

        try
        {
            // Will not overwrite if the destination file already exists.
            File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName));
        }

        // Catch exception if the file was already copied.
        catch (IOException copyError)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(copyError.Message);
        }
    }

    // Delete source files that were copied.
    foreach (string f in txtList)
    {
        File.Delete(f);
    }
    foreach (string f in picList)
    {
        File.Delete(f);
    }
}

catch (DirectoryNotFoundException dirNotFound)
{
    Console.WriteLine(dirNotFound.Message);
}
let sourceDir = @"c:\current"
let backupDir = @"c:\archives\2008"

try
    let picList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.jpg")
    let txtList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt")

    // Copy picture files.
    for f in picList do
        // Remove path from the file name.
        let fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1)

        // Use the Path.Combine method to safely append the file name to the path.
        // Will overwrite if the destination file already exists.
        File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName), true)

    // Copy text files.
    for f in txtList do
        // Remove path from the file name.
        let fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1)

        try
            // Will not overwrite if the destination file already exists.
            File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName))

        // Catch exception if the file was already copied.
        with
        | :? IOException as copyError -> printfn $"{copyError.Message}"

    // Delete source files that were copied.
    for f in txtList do
        File.Delete f

    for f in picList do
        File.Delete f

// Catch exception if the file was already copied.
with
| :? DirectoryNotFoundException as dirNotFound -> printfn $"{dirNotFound.Message}"
Dim sourceDir As String = "c:\current"
Dim backupDir As String = "c:\archives\2008"

Try
    Dim picList As String() = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.jpg")
    Dim txtList As String() = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt")

    ' Copy picture files.
    For Each f As String In picList
        'Remove path from the file name.
        Dim fName As String = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1)

        ' Use the Path.Combine method to safely append the file name to the path.
        ' Will overwrite if the destination file already exists.
        File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName), True)
    Next

    ' Copy text files.
    For Each f As String In txtList

        'Remove path from the file name.
        Dim fName As String = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1)

        Try
            ' Will not overwrite if the destination file already exists.
            File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName))

            ' Catch exception if the file was already copied.
        Catch copyError As IOException
            Console.WriteLine(copyError.Message)
        End Try
    Next

    For Each f As String In txtList
        File.Delete(f)
    Next

    For Each f As String In picList
        File.Delete(f)
    Next

Catch dirNotFound As DirectoryNotFoundException
    Console.WriteLine(dirNotFound.Message)
End Try

Remarks

This method is equivalent to the Copy(String, String, Boolean) method overload with the overwrite parameter set to false.

The sourceFileName and destFileName parameters can specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see the Directory.GetCurrentDirectory method. This method does not support wildcard characters in the parameters.

The attributes of the original file are retained in the copied file.
