Description

Hi,

Is there a way to copy a file in an other directory like a copy/paste.
.MoveTo() method move only the SftpFile and I tryed .WriteAllBytes() method using SftpFile.Attribues.GetBytes() but it write alway a corrupted file.

Thank you

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reading SftpClient and the existing MoveTo method, then determine how a copy operation should differ from moving an SftpFile. Done means a file can be duplicated into another directory without corrupting its contents.
