How to overwrite a file with NSFileManager when copying?

I want to overwrite a fi

If you're not sure if the file exists, this works on swift 3+

try? FileManager.default.removeItem(at: item_destination)
try FileManager.default.copyItem(at: item, to: item_destination)

The first line fails and is ignored if the file doesn't already exist. If there's a exception durning the second line, it throws as it should.
