Copy Files

Copies files on a server.

Script usage:

Copy-Files(
	[Include: <@(text)>],
	[Exclude: <@(text)>],
	[From: <text>],
	To: <text>,
	[Verbose: <true/false>],
	[Overwrite: <true/false>],
	[RenameFrom: <text>],
	[RenameTo: <text>],
	[RenameRegex: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Files::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
