Move Folder
Description
Moves a folder and its contents 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 source folder path. |
| Destination Path | Destination parent or full path ending with the source folder name. |
| Overwrite | Allow replacement of an existing destination folder. Default: False. |
| Create Missing Directories | Create missing destination parents. Default: True. |
Outputs
Folder: reference to the moved folder.
Behavior
When Overwrite is enabled and the destination exists, its folder tree is deleted before the source is moved. Contents are replaced rather than merged.
Example
Moving /data/reports to /archive produces /archive/reports. Supplying /archive/reports uses that path directly. The source folder name is appended unless it is already the destination's last path segment.
