Copying local files with curl [closed]

Question

Is there a way to copy local files with curl, I need it to work as an alternative for cp command.

This is a bit strange, but I'm working on an environment where cp is not available.

Answer 1

You could say:

curl -o /path/to/destination file:///path/to/source/file 

This would copy /path/to/source/file to /path/to/destination.
