So now copy() is a special function? I use just copy to handle uploaded
files, in that particular script. I could fix it to use move_uploaded_files
but it works now. "If it works don't fix it." And IIS does not deny access
to it as I can access it with copy. I don't have to use
move_uploaded_files() if that is what you mean by special function.

But an uploaded file is neither a symlink (windows filesystem has no
symlinks) nor a directory, it's just a normal file. Now what exactly is the
determination of a "regular file", if the uploaded file is not one?
