Don't know why put url didn't work, perhaps you need both read and write
privileges with it. The old way of reading and writing does work however:

  put "c:/metacard/mc.exe" into source
  put "c:/metacard/newmc.exe" into dest
  open file source for binary read
  open file dest for binary write
  read from file source until eof
  write it to file dest
  close file source
  close file dest
