# Job Folder Copy Action

This node is designed to copy a folder from its source location to a new destination. When used in an IO, CO, or HK stream, the node will report the status of the copy process to the dashboard.

It's recommended to employ the Job Folder Copy Action asynchronously within the stream, especially for large source directories that might exceed the 60-second timeout.

The node will transfer content from the source (/folder/source) to the specified destination (/folder/destination). Note that the node will not create an additional 'source' folder within the destination directory.

Empty sub-folders will also be copied to the destination.
