In this example we will upload any (in the example config.xml) xml file and create a copy in a new folder with the name of copy-config.xml

function()
	local newFile = fileCreate("test.txt")                -- attempt to create a new file
	if (newFile) then                                       -- check if the creation succeeded
		fileWrite(newFile, "This is a test file!")        -- write a text line
		local size = fileGetSize ( newFile )              -- get size
		if	size	then
			outputChatBox("Size of test.txt is: " .. size, source) -- output size
		else
			outputChatBox("Sorry, test.txt dont have size ;)", source)
