ServerThis example copies a file called 'test.txt' and called it 'test1.txt'.
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function(res)
local filePath = ":"..getResourceName(res).."/test.txt"
fileCreate(filePath) --create the file in this resource and name it 'test.txt'.
if fileCopy(filePath, ":"..getResourceName(res).."/test1.txt") then
outputChatBox("File was successfully copied!", root, 0, 100, 0)
else
outputChatBox("File was not successfully copied, probably because it doesn't exist.", root, 100, 0, 0)
end
end)
