Copy File

This action copies a file on the local file system where the robot is executed.

Note that the action is only performed during execution in Design mode in Design Studio, if the option Execute in Design Mode has been selected.

Properties

The Copy File action can be configured using the following properties:

Source File

This is the file system path or a file URL of the source file to be copied. This can be specified in several ways using a Value Selector. The path must be absolute, including the drive name, if any, and the directory path to the directory. Alternatively, it can be a file URL, e.g. file:/C:/temp/myFile, in which case it must be URL encoded. The separators / and \ may be used interchangeably.

Destination File

This is the file system path or a file URL of the destination file. This can be specified in several ways using a Value Selector. The path must be absolute, including the drive name, if any, and the directory path to the directory. Alternatively, it can be a file URL, e.g. file:/C:/temp/myFile, in which case it must be URL encoded. The separators / and \ may be used interchangeably.

Execute in Design Mode

If this is enabled, the action will be executed in Design Mode inside Design Studio. If this is disabled, the action will do nothing when navigating the robot in Design Mode.
