Copy newly created temp file

Hi experts,

in NAV 2016 I have made a web service codeunit that creates a pdf file in the temp folder.

After DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM, I try to copy the file to another folder, but I get the error (manually translated): "The user does not have the required permission or the path is write protected".
I guess, I need to close a file or a stream, but cannot find the right one.

It works fine, if I copy any other files to the folder, that gives the error. So it must be something with the temp file.
Here is my code. Hope you can help!

var:

TempBlob: record TempBlob.

InS: Instream

OutS: OutStream

TempFileName: Text

EndingFileName: Text



TempBlob.RESET();
TempBlob.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutS);

REPORT.SAVEAS(206, TempText, REPORTFORMAT::Pdf, OutS);
TempBlob.INSERT();
TempBlob.CALCFIELDS(Blob);
TempBlob.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(InS);

TempFileName := 'Invoice.pdf';

DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM(InS,'','<TEMP>', '', TempFileName);

TempBlob.RESET(); // that did not help
CLEAR(InS); // that did not help
CLEAR(OutS); // that did not help
EndingFileName := '\\...\myShare$\' + 'Invoice.pdf';

COPY(TempFileName, EndingFileName);

    Hello @MortenSteengaard,

    The problem is that the COPY command is executed in the server side so you must use the codeunit 419 (File Management) and the function CopyClientFile.

    Regards.
