# move

This block is part of the [`files`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Moves the given files to a new destination.

- flow `flow`

- files required `file`

- destination required `value`

- flow `flow`

- success `condition`

- error `value`

- files `file`

A typical wiring for [move](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/file_move): [branch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/branch) feeds the `flow` pin; [resize](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/function_resize_image) feeds the `file` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `value` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [branch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/branch).
