Here is solution. I need to add directory and also name of file and extension.

Here is codes.

self.fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
        NSError *error;
        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
        NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

        NSString *txtPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.txt",tblGetNameToMove.textLabel.text]];

        NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/Temp/%@.txt",documentsDirectory,tblGetNameToMove.textLabel.text];

        [self.fileManager copyItemAtPath:txtPath toPath:fileName error:&error];

There could be many reasons for this :

  1. First try to print all the path like documentsDirectoryToTempn and txtPath whether it is correct or not .

  2. The second thing is make use that error variable :

    if(error) { NSLog("Error while coping :%@",[error localizedDiscription]); }

    so you can track exact problem .
