Move Files
Description
Move Files relocates one or more files or folders to a different location on the local or remote file system (via VFS, including FTP). Use this process entry to organize files after processing — for example, moving completed input files to an archive directory, transferring output files to a distribution folder, or relocating files between local and remote systems. It supports wildcard filtering, filename timestamping, and destination folder creation.
