See - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA101181721033.aspx By default, you can use the *Send To* command to copy files to libraries within a site collection. If you copy files from a client computer that has a program that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, such as Microsoft Office Word 2007, and a browser that supports Microsoft ActiveX Controls, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can use the *Send To* command to copy files not only between libraries within a site collection, but also between different Web applications. If you copy files from the browser of a client computer that does not support ActiveX Controls, you will be able to copy files only to libraries within site collections that share the same domain name (top-level site name) as the source library. If you need to copy files to a site that either has forms authentication enabled or is a secure site (for example, a site with a URL that begins with https://), you must add the copy destination to the list of trusted sites in your browser. I was attempting the exact same 'copy to' as you recently and I could not get the copy to function correctly between web applications on the same SharePoint server ! it works fine copying docs within the same site collection though.
See this - http://blog.funknstyle.com/?p=563 Amanda states that it works between web apps - but the first comment to the blog post states that they can't get it to function between web apps. So in the end I - 1. Developed a custom 'Edit Control Block' item to add my own "Copy to blahblah" link which would redirect the user to a custom application page I developed, passing in the list guid and list item id to my custom Copy page. 2. My custom Copy page implements a button and custom code to copy the document. 3. I made use of the SPListItem.CopyTo() method to do the copy the document, and I recall I had to set the source SPWeb to AllowUnsafeUpdates=true. and I was able to get this to copy the documents to different web apps! 4. It seems quite a lot of people have problems with even using the SPListItem.CopyTo() method - http://weblogs.asp.net/erobillard/archive/2008/01/14/translated-solution-to-splistitem-copyto-bug.aspx In the end after all this custom dev I got it to work fine and can now copy docs between web apps, and by implementing a custom copy page you have more control over functionality to lock down parts of it as needed. ie. I check if the source and destination documents are not checked out before allowing the copy - and I have locked down the destination copy location from specific source libraries to specific destination libraries. The best part is I not only needed to copy the docs but also modify word document contents. I used the OpenXml SDK and on copying the document I implemented code to change the document content. ie. swap out text and images automatically on the copy to keep the same document content but rebrand it for another business unit.
