Does File.Copy() from a network share to another share on the same machine copy the file over the network?

Question

If my .NET client uses System.IO.File.Copy to copy a file from \\server1\\share1\\file1.txt to \\sever1\\share2\\file2.txt

Answer 1

If it's possible to do a move instead of a copy, that should happen instantly. Otherwise you need to put a service on the target machine so you can call it remotely.
