CopyFile, perhaps? Or you could just read the file into memory, and write it back into a new file.

How would I read it into memory and so on I have never heard of that?

Open the input file with ifstream. Open the destination file with ofstream. Then use rdbuf(),

outputFile << inputFile.rdbuf();

Naturally, you'll still have to implement error-checking.
