You can use MovefileEx API to move files from one location to another.

if you want to copy a folder from another folder you can try following,

public static void CopyDirectory(String source, String destination) {
DirectoryInfo currentDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(source);
foreach (FileInfo file in currentDirectory.GetFiles()) {
File.Copy(file.FullName, Path.Combine(destination, file.Name));
}
foreach (DirectoryInfo directory in currentDirectory.GetDirectories()) {
String subDirectory = Path.Combine(destination, directory.Name);
Directory.CreateDirectory(subDirectory);
CopyDirectory(directory.FullName, subDirectory);
}
}

you will need to modify some stuff as per your need.

hope this helps

another sample,

FileInfo file = new FileInfo(fileName.Replace(source, destination));

if(overwrite) file.CopyTo(file.FullName, true);

actually no need to invoke platform commands,
