# File Copy activity

The custom File Copy activity copies a file on a Linux or UNIX computer.
This activity replaces an SSH activity by the same name available
in releases prior to Geneva. If you have a workflow created in a previous version that uses
the deprecated activity, your workflow will continue to work normally after upgrading to
Geneva. However, all new workflows must use the custom version of this activity. This
activity was built with the [SSH activity designer template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8fPnC2A~dq4pdTWS848KCA#t_CreateAnSSHActivity "Create an activity that extracts data from a target host that uses the SSH network protocol."), which gives workflow administrators the ability to
store input and output variables in the [databus](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8OYaonyVEUHUlQE7wAXD_w#t_ReuseDataInTheActivityDesigner "The Data tab in the Workflow Editor lists all custom activities used in the current workflow that produce data and displays that data for reuse in other custom activities.").

To access this activity in the Workflow Editor, select the
Custom tab, and then navigate to Custom ActivitiesGlobalOrchestration - SSH.
