    Hi there,

    It can be done with `copyTo` method. With pnp-core-js:

     

    $pnp.sp.web
  .getFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/dev01/DocLib01/tttt/Development and Deployment Guidelines.pdf')
  .copyTo('/sites/dev01/DocLib03/Development and Deployment Guidelines.pdf', true)
  .then(function(res) { 
    console.log(res); 
  });

     

    Which constructs POST request to the following REST endpoint:

     

    /_api/web
  /getfilebyserverrelativeurl('[server relative url of the file to copy')
  /copyto(
        strnewurl='[server reletive url where to copy, including file name]',
        boverwrite=true)

Thank you for your answer

I used your method with sp pnp like below

  sp.web.getFileByServerRelativeUrl(attachments.ServerRelativeUrl)
                  .copyTo('(siteName)/TestDocuments/',false)
                      .then(result => {
                        console.log("Uploaded Document", result)
                      })
    However, it is constructed Get request not Post.  As a result I face the following error message
 
The HTTP method 'GET' cannot be used to access the resource 'CopyTo'. The operation type of the resource is specified as 'Default'. Please use correct HTTP method to invoke the resource
 
How can I fix this issue?
 
Thank you so much ahead
