Copy a File
You can use OS X to make an exact copy of a file. This is useful when you want to make an
extra copy of an important file to use as a backup. Similarly, you might require a copy of a file
if you want to send the copy on a disk to another person. Finally, copying a file is also a real
timesaver if you need a new file very similar to an existing file: You copy the original file and
then make the required changes to the copy. You can copy either a single file or multiple
files. You can also use this technique to copy a folder.
