The contents of the source file are copied, so that source and destination have the same content. Since the transactions happen through kernel-calls, this function is faster than performing the copying yourself through Lua strings.

__NOTOC__
This function copy a file from a source location to a file at the destination. This function copies the contents of the source file, so that source and destination have the same content. Since the transactions happen through kernel-calls, this function is faster than performing the copying yourself.

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool translator.copy ( string srcPath, string dstPath )
</syntaxhighlight>

==Arguments==
*'''srcPath:''' a path to the source file
*'''dstPath:''' the path to the new file that should be copied into

==Returns==
This function returns '''true''' if the file pointed at by '''srcPath''' is an accessible file that can be read from and the requested file a '''dstPath''' could be created and written to, '''false''' otherwise.

==Example==
<section name="Client" class="client" show="true">
This snippet backups a copy of client-side configuration for safety purposes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- Create a generic translator.
local resRoot = fileCreateTranslator( "/" );

resRoot.copy( "config.xml", "backup/config.xml" );
</syntaxhighlight>
