Move File

Description

Moves an existing file to another location on the same remote server.

Prerequisites

Create and test a SFTP connection with access to the remote paths used by the activity. Paths identify locations on that server, not on the workflow host.

Shared settings

Select Connection Name. Use Process Data for dynamic path values. Configure execution control and On Error as required.

Inputs

Property	Description
Source Path	Required full source file path.
Destination Path	Full destination file path, or a directory path without a file extension.
Overwrite	Replace a conflicting destination file. Default: False.
Create Missing Directories	Create missing destination parent directories. Default: True.

Outputs

File: reference to the file at its new location.

Behavior

A directory destination retains the source filename. Use a full path with an extension to make the intended destination explicit.

Example

Set Source Path to /inbox/orders.csv and Destination Path to /archive/orders.csv. The file is no longer available at the source after a successful move.
