Code: Select all

System.IO.File.Copy("File To Copy", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData).ToString & ".minecraft\texturepacks")

If you get an Access Denied error, just run the app as admin

File.Copy does not work with folders. If you want to copy a folder you will need to list the files and copy them individually.
You could use something like this:

Code: Select all

        If Not Directory.Exists(TextBox1.Text) Then
            Directory.CreateDirectory(TextBox1.Text) 'destination folder
        End If

        Dim source As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\texturepacks"

        Dim paths As String() = Directory.GetFiles(source)
        For i As Integer = 0 To paths.Length - 1
            Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(paths(i))
            File.Copy(paths(i), TextBox1.Text & "\" & filename)
        Next
