While trying to help on this question (moving directories) I found a quirk in my searching (well it was late at night) while looking for nodes that could help.
The node-red-contrib-fs node came up in my search as a simple copy function under this link:
At first I thought they where the same (despite a very slight naming difference) and a subsequent search show other similar nodes, so this leads me to ask
Would it be possible to add a breakout box area (like the Node Info box) on the node documentation page to allow for people to link to other nodes that are similar?
Yes - I know a lot of authors are rather 'protective' over their babies but I am interested in helping users navigate a complex system better than Google etc
When there are multiple nodes that have similar names/functionality - that usually means that they've been made to overcome some issue or limitation of an original node
Or often they are forks of an unmaintained node.
So, I'd thought it would be a rare event if an original author would add something to their node to say don't use mine - try these others instead
And sometimes nodes are forked for no reason (playtime, learning, slight non-functional tweak etc).
Judgement is necessary sometimes.
As for fs-ops I pointed you to, it is my go-to for file operations though I have not used it for a ~1 year but it is well designed and works for every task i have ever needed it for. YMMV
That's mine - I'm afraid it hasn't received any TLC for quite a while - if someone wants to update it or take ownership, I'd be more than happy as I don't have time right now. It was created before the fs-ops one.
