>>>Hey guys, is there any way of doing a copy or move(rename) file that doesn't halt execution? I move some big files accross the network (8-10 mins each to move) and would like the filesystem to take over and let my program get on with stuff and just be able to poll the directory every 30 secs to see if it's all copied/moved over. I can do it by creating an out of process object just for moving files around but that seems a bit overkill.

I don't know something that'd do that in background w/o blocking application flow.
