Thanks! On the first question, I will look again at the CopyGenerator syntax. I had assumed that it could only copy from in its own skin folder. I had subsequently deleted the second question because I discovered that I was being stupid! In the fairly dim and distant past, I changed the folder on my website that was the target for the FTP copy, but I hadn't deleted the contents of the old folder. I was looking for the new file in the old folder, and (obviously) not finding it! It was being correctly copied to the new folder.
