The concept of "directories" or "folders" doesn't exist in
ANSI/ISO Standard C or C++. You have to use functions
specific to the operating system and/or compiler.

Look at fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), fclose(), iostreams, fstream, ifstream,
ofstream, findfirst(), findnext(), etc.

For an example using open(), read(), write(), close()  from io.h  see 
Wb_Fcopy.C    Fast file copy
Mv.C          Move files
