# File Move Action

With the help of the File Move Action it is possible to move a file from "a" to "b". In contrast to the File Copy Action, the file is removed from the source path. This node is mainly intended to move individual files such as templates or preference files. To move video files it is recommended to use the "Job File Copy Action" in an asynchronous way of a stream, as this can show the progress in the dashboard. (requires HIO)
