IO Operation

This component allows you to move, copy, delete, and rename files on the filesystem or cloud storage. It also allows you to check if a file exists. To access the local filesystem, the XILL4_WORKDIRS environment variable must be set to the path of the directories to be accessed.

Source File

The path to the source file. This path can either be relative or absolute. A relative path will be relative to the execution directory of the application.

Target File

The application will throw an error if the target file already exists. However, if the Overwrite existing files option is set, it will proceed and the target file will be overwritten.
