What happened to File.copy?

[Ron Coutts]

Did File.copy and File.cp disappear sometime between Ruby 1.6 and 1.8?
Is there an alternative in 1.8?

#copy is not in the core, it's in the ftools library.

require 'ftools'

Try to require 'fileutils' and use FileUtils.cp or FileUtils.copy
instead.

AFAIK ftools.rb is obsolete now, it's mentioned on the "old" list here:

Thanks. I think I liked it better the other way.
Doesn't really matter.
