You can use the following, the $path should be an absolute path to a local file.
$file = new \Illuminate\Http\File($path);
$file->move();
$file->extension();

How should I import images via artisan?
I've got image imports working nicely via an HTTP controller, as per many examples. But now I want to do the same thing to import arbitrary files from a local file system via an artisan command, where a file path is passed as an argument. In a controller I can get a handle on an uploaded file using $image = $request->file('image');, and this supports many useful things (like move(), getClientOriginalExtension()), but it seems to be specific to an uploaded file, not just a local file.
What's the right way to create an instance with similar abilities that represents a local file rather than an uploaded one?
Alternatively, how could I call my controller's store() method from artisan with the local image attached?

Oh! That's lovely and simple! Thank you.

if your local files is outside the project folder, the easy way was create another storage disk
filesystem.php
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
'travel' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => config('cfg.travel.storageRoot'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/travel',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
create project/config/cfg.php
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| My Site Config
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
'projectStartDate' => '2020-09-01',
'travel' => [
'storageRoot' => 'D:/any-path/folder',
],
];
create symlink
// for windows
mklink /J "D:\path-to\your-project\public\travel" "D:\any-path\folder"
// for Linux / Mac
ln -s "/path-to/your-project/public/travel" "/any-path/folder"
