Hey Lakhan, sounds like you'd have to tap into the OS in order to handle copy /paste folder operations. This solution is really just targeted at change the string of a file. You could leverage that in a node job, but there's a lot of other work involved - you might want to ask about it on stack overflow if you can give a clear example of what you're looking to accomplish and what you've tried.
