Copy and move a file but DO NOT delete original using node.js

Question

I'm looking for a solution using node.js that will copy, move, and rename a file from one directory to another without deleting the original. Other solutions I've found seem to delete the original such as fs.rename.

This will run in a repo using npm.

*"that will copy, move, and rename a file from one directory to another without deleting the original"* That's just copying. — gre_gor, May 18 '23 at 15:01
What in your definition is the difference between "copy, move, and rename" and just doing a copy to a new location with a new name? I.e. why is `fs.copyFile("some/location/someName", "some/otherLocation/someOtherName")` not what you want? — MaxNoe, May 18 '23 at 15:53

Standard node:fs module is pretty enough for all of your purposes.
In particular you can achieve your goals with a help of fs.copyFile
