Copies a file. If the current user has permission and safe mode is turned off, then this function will use the PHP copy function. Otherwise, the function will use FTP (if enabled) to copy the file. The function returns true if the file was successfully copied. Otherwise, the function returns false and may raise a warning using the JError class.

boolean copy ( $src, $dest, $path )

Example: This example copies a file.

if (JFile::copy( 'clock.jpg', 'clock_copy.jpg', 'images/stories/' )) {
    echo "<h3>File Successfully Copied</h3>";
} else {
    echo "<h3>Could not copy file</h3>";
}
