Move/rename file

Move / rename file is a versatile action used to move a file from one location to another, or to rename that file in its current location on the computer's hard drive.

Unlike copying (Copy file), this action will cut the data to the new location (if moving) or completely replace the old name (if renaming).

Configuration parameters:

• Source File: The absolute path of the source file to be moved or renamed (e.g., D:\data\old_name.txt).
• Destination File: The absolute path of the destination file where it is moved to, or the path containing the new file name after renaming (e.g., E:\backup\old_name.txt or D:\data\new_name.txt).

Real-world example: Rename file

You just downloaded an image file and want to rename it to a meaningful name before uploading it to social media to avoid duplication.

• Source File: D:\downloads\image.jpg
• Destination File: D:\downloads\avatar_profile_1.jpg (keeping the same directory, changing the file name at the end).
• Result: The file image.jpg will disappear and be renamed to avatar_profile_1.jpg.
