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.
