A method that copies files.

When operating on files on the client platform with MSIE, this method provides a means of copying files within the file system.

The destination argument needs to be a valid location within the file system the File object belongs to. Given that computers allow for the mounting of foreign file systems through a variety of different techniques, the target file system path may be constructed quite differently to that of the source path.
