In this case use file.copy instead for cross-volume file transfers. |
| Errors |
Attempting to move a file with file.move will result in an error when the second parameter is the name of a file rather than a folder. If it's a cross-volume move, an error results (use file.copy instead). If the folder already has a file with the same name as the file being moved, an error results.
