Solution 1

Try the following code

C#

public class SimpleFileCopy
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string fileName = "test.txt";
        string sourcePath = @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder";
        string targetPath =  @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\SubDir";

        string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
        string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);

        if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetPath))
        {
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(targetPath);
        }

        // To copy a file to another location and  
        // overwrite the destination file if it already exists.
        System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);

        // To move a file or folder to a new location:
        System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, destinationFile);
 
        if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(sourcePath))
        {
            string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath);
 
            foreach (string s in files)
            {
                fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(s);
                destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);
                System.IO.File.Copy(s, destFile, true);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Source path does not exist!");
        }
    }
}

File.Copy works fine between folders and across disks: just provide the full path of the source and destination:

C#

File.Copy(@"D:\Temp\MyFile.txt", @"E:\Backups\Temporary\MyFile.txt.bak");

The only problem you may get is if the destination folder does not exist - if which case you will have to create it first.

Solution 3

Your assumption is wrong.
File.Copy can copy a file into another directory (a.k.a folder)

C#

public static void Copy(
	string sourceFileName,
	string destFileName
)

See example code:

C#

// Recursive function to copy a folder's content into another folder
void Copy(string sourceDir, string targetDir)
{
    Directory.CreateDirectory(targetDir);

    foreach(var file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir))
        File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(targetDir, Path.GetFileName(file)));

    foreach(var directory in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDir))
        Copy(directory, Path.Combine(targetDir, Path.GetFileName(directory)));
}

Good luck,
Edo

// To copy a file to another location and
// overwrite the destination file if it already exists.

C#

System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);

// To move a file or folder to a new location:

C#

System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, destinationFile);
