Analytic App to move selected files from one location to my default working directory

[anktaggrwl11]

I'm trying to create an analytic app that can be run locally that will allow me to select any number of source yxdbs from a network folder that I want to have copied into my local working directory... 

I'm able to do single file selections to copy and move over via the run command tool, but what I really want is the ability to copy any number of files that I choose when I run the app, and for those files to be copied over to my local machine that has a folder tree that mirrors the network folder tree that i'm copying from...

i.e. I'd like to choose (ideally from a tree tool):

\\SourceDirectory\FileA.yxdb and copy that to \\LocalDirectory\

\\SourceDirectory\Load\FileB.yxdb and copy that to \\LocalDirectory\Load\

\\\\SourceDirectory\Extract\FileC.yxdb and copy that to \\LocalDirectory\Extract\

Has anyone done this? If so, please show me your ways.

hey @anktaggrwl11 

There are a few pieces that you'd need to assemble and get working one by one to achieve what you want.

a) Select the folder - use a folder browse

b) Select the files - you'll need to do a chained app on this - where you pass the folder into the next app which then has a list select for the files (which you'd need to populate from a directory tool)

c) You'd then need to copy the files selected across to your target location - presumably by using a file copy tool like this one https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/File-Copying-and-Moving/td-p/592216

So this is possible, but not trivial.
