I know how to copy a single file, but I need to copy a folder

1) What do you want to happen when your "source" folder contains one/more sub folders ... and those folders contains one/more sub folders ... and so on and so on ?

2) do you want to copy files in the "source" folder to a new "target" folder ... or an existing one ?

3) if an existing "target" folder", what do you want to happen if a file with the same name already exists ?

For a simple case (no sub folders), you can use a combination of native VisualNEOWin commands ...

FileList
FolderExists/CreateFolder
Loop/EndLoop
FileExists
FileCopy

If you need to copy files in sub folders (ad infinitum), you are better of using the DOS command XCOPY ... you can find the option switches here ... https://web.csulb.edu/~murdock/xcopy.html ... you can invoke this command using the Run command.

Let us know your specific requirements ... and any areas you need assistance with.

lgaFileSys plugin has a feature "lgaFolder/FileOptions" to copy/move folders and files.

I don't know if it handles subfolders.

You can also use this simple command line utility to compress a folder's contents into a single zip file (which can easily be embedded into your publication, for example) and then extract and unzip everything into a new folder you want to copy to.
