static def CopyFileOrDirectoryFollowSymlinks(from as string, to as string) as void

Description

Copies the file or directory.

Copies from from path to the destination, to, path.

In presence of symbolic links (OS X only), the actual files to which symbolic links point to are copied, not the symbolic links themselves.

	@MenuItem ("Example/Copy SymLink Something")
	static function CopyAFile () {
		// copies the file "YourFileOrFolder" from "sLPath/" to "copySL/path/"
		FileUtil.CopyFileOrDirectoryFollowSymlinks (
			"sLPath/YourFileOrFolder",
			"copySL/path/YourFileOrFolder");
	}
