' Dimension local variables. 
Dim fsoObject   ' FileSystemObject
Dim filObject   ' File Object

' Instantiate the FileSystemObject variable.
Set fsoObject = Server.CreateObject( _
                "Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Using the GetFile method of fsoObject, initialize 
' the File object.
Set filObject = fsoObject.GetFile("d:\docs\test.txt")

' Copy the file to a temporary directory.
filObject.Copy "e:\storage\temp\test_copy.txt", True

Notes

The Copy method performs exactly the same function as the CopyFile and CopyFolder methods of the FileSystemObject object. However, it is important to note that the CopyFile and CopyFolder methods will allow you to copy more than one file or folder at a time.
