Windows API function that should do the trick:

#include <winbase.h>

BOOL CopyFile(

    LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,	// pointer to name of an 
existing file 
    LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,	// pointer to filename to copy to 
    BOOL bFailIfExists 	// flag for operation if file exists 
   );

BOOL MoveFile(

    LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,	// address of name of the 
existing file  
    LPCTSTR lpNewFileName 	// address of new name for the file 
   );	


BOOL MoveFileEx(

    LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,	// address of name of the 
existing file  
    LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,	// address of new name for the file 
    DWORD dwFlags 	// flag to determine how to move file 
   );
