Parameters:

FileSystemObjectName

The parameter "FileSystemObjectName" is used to specify the name of the instance of the FileSystemObject Object related to.

source

The parameter "source" is used to specify the path string of the source folder specification to be moved from. Wildcard characters can be used to specify one or more folders to be moved. However the wildcard characters can only be used in the last path component of the path specification.

destination

The parameter "destination" is used to specify the path string of the destination folder specification to which the folder and subfolders from source are to be moved. Wildcard characters cannot be used to specify the path of  desitination folder.

Remarks:

FileSystemObjectName Method should always refer to a FileSystemObject Object.

If the parameter source contains wildcard characters or the parameter destination ends with a path separator (\), the parameter destination is assumed to be an existing folder in which to copy matching folders and subfolders. Otherwise, the parameter destination is assumed to be the name of the folder to be created for copying to.

In either case, when moving from the source to the desination,

  • If the destination does not exist, the source folder and all its contents gets moved.

  • If the destination is an existing file, an error occurs.

  • If the destination is a directory, an error occurs.

An error also occurs if a source doesnot match any folders when using wildcard characters.

Besides, the CopyFolder method stops on the first error it encounters. No attempt is made to roll back any changes were made before an error occurs.

This method also allows moving folders between volumes only if supported by the operating system.

Permission Denied Error may occur, if the folder is not shared with the corresponding Web Server.
