How to switch, or update, a file that exists only in a brnch ?

I have a couple of files that exist only in a branch which I’d like to have within my Working Copy. If the files exist in the Head I can use “switch” to change the WC instance from the Head one to the branch one. But if the file is not in the Head I can’t do that as Switch only appears to work when a file is already in the WC as a checked-out file, and not if it is absent, or present but not Controlled.

Or should I use Update to get this ? In which case what syntax ? As it seems to want to update the whole folder to the Branch’s version.


Regards,
Richard.

PS. Using TortoiseSvn so also happy to receive answers indicating what to do within Tortoise.
