Question
I am using windows XP and DEV C++

I want to make a program used in file transfer. How do you copy files to new locations and change thier names using C++

Answer
Hello Marcus.

The functions you are looking for are CopyFile and MoveFile. The MoveFile does the renaming. The usage is fairly simple. You can look them up in MSDN.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364232%28VS.85%29.aspx for a all the File Management Functions.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Best regards.
Zlatko
