Copy file from one directory to another

Question

I am pretty new to C# and I am trying to get my program to copy a file from one location to another. The method I have is as below;

    private void CopyInstallF         


        

Answer 1

Look at your sourceFile string and be aware of using the \, which could be interpreted as escape character.

To prevent this start your string with @

string sourceFile = @"F:\inetpub\ftproot\test.txt";

or

string sourceFile = "F:\\inetpub\\ftproot\\test.txt";
