Copy Files Workflow

[KagenB]

Hello!

I am attempting to build a workflow that will copy files from one location to another on a daily basis. I have built the below simple workflow and it seems to work fine in copying file names but not the actual file themselves. When I open the output file the only contents are the file name itself. Any thoughts on refining this workflow would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all- have any of yall gotten the file-copy-move to work from a gallery and moving from a network drive to SharePoint? I put in an email at the end of my workflow to let me know if it was successful. When I run it from my desktop it works perfectly, but I had the tool installed on the Gallery, but when I run the workflow from the gallery it cannot find the path specified...  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Any chance this tool has been upgraded to be used on the Server?

And/or is there another way to copy files using Alteryx UNC files?

Alternatively this is another great use case for python: 

from ayx import Alteryx
import shutil
import os
import pandas as pd


def archiving(a):
    source=a['filepath'].tolist()
    destination=a['destination'].iloc[0]
    destination=destination.replace('\\','/')
    source=[shutil.copy(each,destination) for each in source]
    dicty={"newfiles":[destination+os.path.basename(each) for each in source]}
    output=pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dicty)
    Alteryx.write(output,1)

df=Alteryx.read("#1")
archiving(df)
