Move activity is used for moving files and folders to the desired directory.

*File name	The file name or the folder name with path.
*Destination path	The destination directory for the copied files or folders is written.
Overwrite	This checkbox enables overwriting if there is a file or folder with the same name.

_{Note: * Fields selected with are required, others are optional.}

You can use the folder path as shown in the example.

C:\Temp\Test

You can use the file path as shown in the example.

Full name for specific file:

C:\Temp\Test.xlsx

Files that start with the initial letter a in the folder and have an extension .txt are processed in batches:

C:\Temp\a*.txt

All files in the folder with extension .xlsx are processed in batch:

C:\Temp\*.xlsx

All files in the folder will be processed in batch:

C:\Temp\*.*

All files/folders in the folder will be processed collectively:

C:\Temp\*

You can use the Destination path as shown in the example.

If you want to copy the folder with the same name to the “Test” folder only:

C:\Test

If you want to change the name to “Trial” while copying the folder under the “Test” folder.

C:\Test\Trial

You can use the Destination path as shown in the example.

If you want to copy the file to the “Test” folder with the same name:

C:\Test

If you want to change the name to “newFile.xlsx” while copying the file under “Test” folder:

C:\Test\newFile.xlsx

If the destination path ends with a file separator (With a slash), the file or folder is located in that path:

C:\Temp\myFolder\

Otherwise, if the destination path has the file or folder name at the end, action will be taken with renaming support:

C:\Temp\myFolder\fileWithNewName.txt

If you use unzip, add folder name:

C:\Temp\myFolder\folderName

If the “Overwrite” checkbox status is:

True: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move is performed. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the old file/folder is overwritten and moved.

False: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move is performed. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move will not be performed. The function gets an error with the message that there is file/folder already in the directory.
