dav copy
========

**`copy [-pcO] [-L <lock>] <url1> <url2>`**

Creates a duplicate of the resource identified by *url1* at the location *url2*. All resource properties are copied. Currently *url1* and *url2* must be the same host. 

If *url1* is a collection, all children are copied.

If *url2* already exists, the command aborts, unless the `-O` option is specified.

The command uses a single WebDAV COPY request to duplicate the resources. It does not handle the dav encryption functionality, which means it does not modify *url2* if encryption is enabled.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled. This applies only to *url1*

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption This applies only to *url1*

**`-O`** override the destination resource

**`-L <lock>`** use a lock token. See [dav lock][1]
