Copying files into site

Question

How can I create an extension that when added automatically
adds a required file/folder to the current dreamweaver website?
I've seen other extensions add javascript and .gif files and
folders but I cannot find any tutorials on how to do this.
Example is: I have an extension that places a link to a local
file. I need to add that file into the users dreamweaver site so
they can ftp it along with the webpage.
Thanks in advance

Sure, Dreamweaver CS3 introduces the function dom.copyAssets,
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0_API/dwr_pagecontent_cn_088.html
you pass it an array of AssetInfo objects, which are defined
in
Shared/Common/Scripts/AssetInfoClass.js
for earlier versions of dreamweaver you'd have to create your
own function
using DWFile.copy
