Qt has a method for copying files:

#include 
QFile::copy("originalFile.example","copiedFile.example");

Note that to use this you have to install Qt (instructions here) and include it in your project (if you're using Windows and you're not an administrator, you can download Qt here instead). Also see this answer.
