Move files

Move files

Moves a file or directory from a source location to a destination location in the file system. Unlike the copy, the original file is removed after the operation.


Options

Origin path

Enter the full path of the file or directory that will be moved, including the name and the extension. Example: C:\Desktop\document.pdf.

Destination path

Enter the full path of the destination, including the file name and extension. Example: C:\Desktop\Archived\document.pdf.

Replace file of the same name?

Defines whether an existing file at the destination with the same name must be replaced. The options are:

  • Yes: Replaces the existing file at the destination.
  • No: Keeps the existing file and does not perform the move (default).

Returns

This action has no returns.

Rules and Conditions

  • The Origin path and Destination path fields are required.
  • The origin file must exist for the action to be executed.
  • The destination directory must exist; otherwise, the action may raise an error.
  • After a successful move, the file is no longer available at the origin path.
