Copy files from one directory to another directory in C#

How to copy all files and folders from one directory to another directory or location using C#.

Step 1. Add following namespace 

using System.IO;

Step 2. We can use File.Copy method to copy a file from current location to a new location. We can also change the file name as well. The following code snippet reads all files in Your Path folder. 

 

Note: Replace "Your Path" with the full path of your directory you want to move and "Your Destination" with your new full path.  

public void readfiles()
{
    string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles("Your Path");
    foreach (var filename in filePaths)
    {
        string file = filename.ToString();

        //Do your job with "file"
        string str = "Your Destination"+file.ToString(),Replace("Your Path");
        if (!File.Exists(str))
        {
            File.Copy(file , str);
        }
    }
}
