  1. Use the copyFile function to copy the file from source path to the destination path. The function takes three arguments: source path, destination path, and a callback function. Here's an example:
index.tsx
const sourcePath = "/path/to/source/file.txt";
const destinationPath = "/path/to/destination/file.txt";

fs.copyFile(sourcePath, destinationPath, (error) => {
  if (error) {
    console.log("Error occurred while copying file:", error);
  } else {
    console.log("File copied successfully!");
  }
});

In the above example, we're copying a file from sourcePath to destinationPath. If an error occurs while copying the file, the error message will be printed to the console. If the file is copied successfully, the success message will be printed to the console.
