This template works as a catch-all for recurring file movement operations. In many offices, mainframe or server applications provide output files in either text files, comma delimited files, .rpt files, which subsequently are used by other people in the office. However, before the files can be used they need to be renamed and moved, or copied, or all of the above. This is for either the programmer providing the output files, or for the user receiving them. The use of this template will ease simple file move/copy/rename options, or will handle bulk operations.
The layout of the file is simple, and is self explanatory with Screen Tips that are there to help, which can be turned off, as well as a default print sheet format for easy record keeping. Single files, entire folders, and files in many source directories going to many destination directories can all be handled with one execution. This will copy files of all types, but will not copy subfolders within a directory.
