File system Move

File system Move

Certified

Move or rename local files

Moves files or directories within configured allowed-paths; destination parents are created as needed. Overwrite is false by default and directories cannot be moved into themselves. Local access requires allowed-paths in the plugin configuration.

Example (Kestra config):

plugins: 
  configurations: 
    - type: io.kestra.plugin.fs.local.Move
      values: 
        allowed-paths: 
          - /data/files
yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.fs.local.Move

Move a file within the local filesystem

yaml
id: move_file
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: move
    type: io.kestra.plugin.fs.local.Move
    from: /input/data.csv
    to: /archive/data.csv
    overwrite: true
Properties

Destination path on the local file system

Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

Asset failure behavior
