I was wondering if it is possible to send an HTTP request to copy a "aspx file" from one site collection to another site collection?

Something like this:

Appreciate any thoughts and answers

Have you tried using the SharePoint "Get file content" action, following by the SharePoint "Create file" action?

Hello,

Yes I tried this, but it didn't seem like it is possible to create a .aspx file.
(I have full controll of the site so I'm allowed to add things to the site without using flow)

Hmmm, that's unfortunate. Given that though, I would suggest that the underlying API that the SharePoint connection "Create file" action invokes may well consume the same SharePoint REST API you are trying in invoke directly, and hence perhaps fails for similar reasons. Given you particular use case, specifically pertaining to the "Site Pages" library, I would imagine there are a lot of possible reasons which may or may be possible to overcome. For example I found this article: https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/218520/need-permissions-uploading-aspx-page-to-my-own-sharepoint-site Broadly though I would suspect the type of file you are trying to copy (i.e. aspx) is irrelevant, however you could test that with another type of file, say html, to at least rule that out. Also perhaps try say the default document library as another way to at least determine whether the root cause is the library you are trying to copy the file too as well as the type of file you are trying to copy...
