To copy a file from flash0 to ms0 just look at the example that SG57 did for his LuaPlayer with flash. He made an example that backups a file before you flash it.

Theres an example

Code:

System.write("flash0:/vsh/resource/01-12.bmp","ms0:/01-12.bmp.backup","no")

Why don't you do some research in FileIO?

Concept:

+ Open Directory
+ Create Directory In Destination Directory
+ Get File List
+ - + If Current entry is a file, copy it.
+ - + Else, it is a directory, start at step 1 With This Directory.
+ Done.
