Copy folders from one directory to another in R

Question

I have two folders (say \"A\",\"B\") which are in a folder (say \"Input\"). I want to copy \"A\" and \"B\" to another folder (say \"Output\"). Can I do this in R?

Answer 1

All of the solutions I've seen to this question seem to imply a Unix based operating system (Mac & Linux). I think the reason that the response(s) didn't work for OP is that OP may be on Windows.

In Windows, the definition of a file is just that, a file, whereas Unix defines a file as a file or directory. I believe this may be why file.copy() is not working, based on my understanding of the "File Manipulation" R documentation - arguments inputted to file.copy() for the "from" field must be files (not directories), but can be either files or directories for the "to" field.
