This works:
testdb=> create table test1 (
testdb-> f1 int, f2 text);
CREATE
testdb=> insert into test1 values (1, '1');
INSERT 52778 1
testdb=> insert into test1 values (2, '2');
INSERT 52779 1
testdb=> \copy test1 to test1_file
Successfully copied.
testdb=> create table test2 (f1 int, f2 int);
CREATE
testdb=> \copy test2 from test1_file
Successfully copied.
testdb=> select * from test2;
f1|f2
--+--
1| 1
2| 2
(2 rows)
testdb=> \d test2
Table = test2
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type |

+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| f1 | int4 |

| f2 | int4 |
