Copy Files

Source Filesystem

The source filesystem to use.

If the filesystem is nil, the local filesystem is used.

Evaluated for each input row

Source

The path to copy from.

Relative paths are interpreted as relative to the flow file.

Evaluated for each input row

Pattern

If pattern is nil or empty, the source path is treated as the single file or directory to copy.

If non-empty, the source path is treated as a directory, all directory entries are matched by name, and all matching entries are copied.

The pattern is a regular expression. Matching files are copied.
When using the local filesystem, PathMatcher syntax can be used.

Examples:

• .*\.xml$ matches file names ending in .xml
• glob:*.csv matches file names ending in csv (using path matcher glob syntax)

Target Filesystem

The destination filesystem to use.

If the filesystem is nil, the local filesystem is used.

Evaluated for each input row

Target

The path to copy to.

Relative paths are interpreted as relative to the flow file.

Evaluated for each input row

Copy to

Determines how to interpret the target path:

• folder: target path is a folder the source file(s) are copied into
• path: target path is the full desitnation path of the copied source file

Evaluated for each input row

If Exists

Determines the course of action when a target file or directory already exists:

• error: throw an error
• replace: replace exsting

Test Mode

If checked, the step logs copy operations, but does not actually copy any files.

If unchecked, the step copies files as configured.
