Copy files and folders between VPP folders

Have made a plugin that copy files and folders between 2 VPP folders that are of different type.

The code is pretty straight forward, and thinks its strange that the buildt in copy / paste from the explorer view from episerver don’t support this.

Code Snippet
  1. [GuiPlugIn(
  2. Area = PlugInArea.AdminMenu,
  3. DisplayName = "Kopiere filer",
  4. Url = "~/Custom/AdminPages/CopyFiles.aspx")]
  5. public partial class CopyFiles : SystemPageBase
  6. {
  7.     protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
  8.     {
  9.         base.OnInit(e);
  10.     }
  11.     protected void Start_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  12.     {
  13.             var source = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(CopyFrom.Text) as UnifiedDirectory;
  14.             var target = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(CopyTo.Text) as UnifiedDirectory;
  15.             StatusText.Text = DoCopy(source, target);
