You printed a prompting message specifying the menu choices available and then read a response from the user letting them select their choice. If the user chose option 1, could you print another prompt asking them to choose the file to be copied and read another response from them to select the file to be copied? If the user chose option 2, could you print another prompt asking them to identify the name of user to search for?
As for you question about what to put in the loop Corona688 mentioned, put everything in the loop that you want to be repeated until the user selects choice 5.
