The ASP Move Method is used to move the specified file or folder to the given destination.

Syntax:

  • For File object:

    FileObject.Move(destination)
  • For Folder object:

    FolderObject.Move(destination)

Parameters: This method has a single parameter as mentioned above and discussed below:

  • destination: It specifies the destination where the file or folder would be moved to. It does not allow wildcard characters. This is a required parameter.

The below examples demonstrate the ASP Move Method.

Example 1: The below code demonstrates the ASP File.Move Method.

ASP
<%
dim fs,f,ts
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Getting the file to be copied
set f=fs.GetFile("d:\GFG.txt")

'Reading the contents of the file
set ts=f.OpenAsTextStream(1)
Response.Write("Original File Content: " & ts.ReadAll)
ts.Close

'Moving the file to the given path
f.Move("d:\newfolder\GFG.txt")

Response.write("<br>" & "File is Moved!" & "<br>")

'Getting the moved file
set f=fs.GetFile("d:\newfolder\GFG.txt")

'Reading the contents of the moved file
set ts=f.OpenAsTextStream(1)
Response.Write("Moved File Content: " & ts.ReadAll)
ts.Close

set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>

Output:

Original File Content: This is an example file
File is Moved!
Moved File Content: This is an example file

Example 2: The below code demonstrates the ASP Folder.Move Method.

ASP
<%
dim fs,f,ts
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Getting the folder to be copied

Response.write("Folder is Moved!")

'Getting the moved folder
set f=fs.GetFolder("d:\newfolder\GFG")
