How to copy a file using SKILL?

EvanShultz
EvanShultz over 6 years ago

This is probably a basic question, but for some reason I'm not finding an answer by playing around with code, reading the docs, or Googling. Surely my fault.

How can I copy a file from one location to another? In my case, I want to snag a file from $CDS_SITE that is used for configuration and bring it local.

Not finding a direct SKILL function my belief was I could call to the host OS for a file copy but I don't see that function either. I do not want to simply read the file contents and produce a copy that way, which I can do.

Thanks!
