Monitor files being copied/accessed

Hello,

Is there a way (without 3rd party software) to know if a file has been accessed and/or copied ?

I'm interested in any solution : doing command line instructions , running background scripts etc...

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong forum.

Thank you!
