You can't copy generic files, smartcard contains only private keys (gpg
--edit-key X, keytocard) and a small amount of data objects (gpg
--card-edit, admin, url/lang/name).

Note that keytocard *moves* key to card, meaning the local copy of the
private key will be deleted. If you don't want that (e.g. encryption
key) either have a copy or *don't* save after keytocard command.

The card can store only 3 keys: one signature, one encryption and one
authentication key.

Kind regards,

Wiktor
