Folder Copy Action
The Folder Copy Action node copies an entire folder, including all files and subdirectories, from a source location to a destination location.
The copy is performed on the host system where the stream is executed (client or server). The node supports several conflict-handling rules if the destination folder already exists.
Input Parameters
Folder Path Path and name of the source folder that should be copied.
New Folder Path Destination path and name of the copied folder.
If New Folder Exists Defines how the node behaves if the destination folder already exists:
FAIL — stop the node with an error
SKIP — do nothing and keep the existing folder
DELETE_EXISTING — delete the destination folder before copying
RENAME_EXISTING — rename the existing folder before copying
MERGE_WITH_EXISTING — merge source contents into the existing folder
INCREMENT_NAME — create a new folder with an incremented name
Behavior
Copies all files and subfolders recursively
Leaves the source folder unchanged
Applies the configured conflict rule if necessary
Supports asynchronous execution
Typical Use Cases
copying project templates
duplicating working directories
preparing delivery packages
creating backup copies
Practical Note
This node performs a direct filesystem copy and does not show progress feedback in the dashboard. For large folders or media transfers, the Job Folder Copy Action is recommended.
