Use the File System Object:

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

oFSO.CopyFile [source ], [destination ]
oFSO.CopyFolder [source], [destination]

>I need to copy DBFs / CDXs / FPTs from one directory to another (for backup purposes). The VFP command COPY FILE fails if the table is open. I am currently shelling to DOS and using the COPY command (in DOS) which works even when the table is open, but I would rather not shell out to DOS. Are there any alternatives? I also don't want to resort to ActiveX controls.
