+= file_instance_move
+
+== The answer to "Why can't I copy this file from an instance?"
+
+Why can't you copy a file from an instance? I don't really know, but here's something that will allow you to do it.
+
+== Installation
+
+  sudo gem install file_instance_move
+
+=== Requirements
+
+You'll need Gemcutter, thankfully it's as easy as
+  sudo gem install gemcutter
+
+== Examples
+
+Always do this:
+  require 'file_instance_move'
+
+=== Copy a file
+
+  file = File.open 'file.txt'
+  ...do file-y stuff here, read, write, whatever...
+  file.copy 'destination/path/file.txt'
+  file.close
+
+If you want to continue operating on the copied file only, you can get an instance containing it by using
+
+  file = file.copy 'destination/path/file.txt'
+
+This will also work
+
+  file.cp 'destination/path/file.txt'
+
+=== Move a file
+
+  file = File.open 'file.txt'
+  ...do file-y stuff here, read, write, whatever...
+  file.move 'file2.txt'
+
+There is no need to call close when using .move, the file is already closed.
+If you want to continue operating on the moved file, you can get an instance containing it by using
+
+  file = file.move 'file2.txt'
+
+This will also work
+
+  file.mv 'file2.txt'
