You can just change the name, "save as new", and then move it to another folder. That makes two "files" with reference to the same image on the drive.

Django==1.11.8, django-filer==1.3.2 https://imgur.com/a/HwWfTyH

I would start with posting all the code. Are you using `filer.models.filemodels.File`? See: https://github.com/divio/django-filer/blob/develop/filer/management/commands/import_files.py

This is clearly a permissions issue. Try making the target file location writable.

And those same files probably have the same permissions.

It looks like it's having trouble writing to disk, but this may be relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21669657/getting-cannot-write-mode-p-as-jpeg-while-operating-on-jpg-image
