Not with standard C++ libraries. Most compilers provide
system-specific libraries to do those things. You didn't mention your
system so I can't be of more help.

I did reply you, in case you missed that, did you have a look at the boost
filesystem library, for linux it is perfect and you can do most of what
you have written. copying with a new name, rename , removing etc.
