Move Files Action

The Move File(s) action will move a File or a set of files that match a file spec to the destination file or directory. You can use wildcards in the source setting to move more than one file (the "Destination is a directory" property will be set automatically). If the target directories do not already exist, check the Force Directories property to make FinalBuilder create the directories as needed.

If any file fails to move, then the action will fail.

The Copy/Move FileSet action provides more sophisticated support for choosing files to move.

Details

Source

The source folder to move files from.

Destination

The destination folder to move files to.

Existing Files

If a file already exists at the destination, select how you would like the action to behave - fail, skip or overwrite.

Fail if any destination files exist

If any of the files in the source location already exist in the destination the action will fail.

Skip existing files

If any of the files in the source location already exist in the destination they will be skipped. This test is done simply on file name.

Overwrite existing files

If any of the files in the source location already exist in the destination they will be overwritten. This test is done simply on file name.

Overwrite read-only files

If any of the files in the source location are read only they will be overwritten.

Options

Destination is a directory

Set this option to indicate that the destination is a directory name, not a file name.

Force Directories

If this option is set and the destination directory, or any parent directories, do not exist, then they will be created.

Clear Attributes

If this option is set, the destination file will be created with all attributes (Archive, Read Only, Hidden, System) cleared.

Fail if Zero Files Moved

If this option is set and no files are moved, the action will fail.

Log Files Moved

Each file moved will be logged. If this option is not set, only skipped files or files with errors are logged.
