copyfile

Name

copyfile

Auth

yes

Description

Takes one file and copies it as another file in the user's filesystem.

Expects fileid or path to identify the source file and tofolderid+toname or topath to identify destination filename.

If toname is ommited, original filename is used.

The same is true if the last character of topath is '/' (slash), thus identifying only the target folder. The target file will be separate, newly created (with current creation time unless old file is overwritten) independent file.

Any future operations on either the source or destination file will not modify the other one.

This call is useful when you want to create a public link from somebody else's file (shared with you).
