Not able to move files

[felipeatsix]

Hi. First, thank you very much for this great library, it is very simple to use and it is a time saver.

Context

I'm trying to move files from UNC to UNC in a windows domain, running my application from a docker Linux container.

Testing environment

For testing this I have created the following file share on my local host

• \\localhost\src
• \\localhost\dst

Then I Added 2 .txt files in \\localhost\src

Succeeded

My container was able to read the .txt files from the src folder with the following code

        protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        {
            var file = await Node.GetNode(@"<ipaddress>\src", "<username>", "<password>");
            var nodes = await file.GetList();
            foreach (var node in nodes)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(node.Name);
            }            
        }

Failed

Although, when trying to use the Move method, I don't get any exceptions but the files are not moved as expected

        protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        {
            var folder = await Node.GetNode(@"<ipaddress>\src", "<username>", "<password>");
            var nodes = await folder.GetList();
            foreach (var node in nodes)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation($"Moving file {node.Name}");
                await node.Move($@"<ipaddress>\dst\{node.Name}");
            }            
        }

Am I doing something wrong? should this code expect to move files from src to dst file share?

The name of the method may have been misleading. I've not implemented the ability to move files to another server.

The first argument of the Move method is a relative path, like: "... \anotherFolder\file.txt"

To move a file to another server, use the Read method to get the MemoryStream, Write on the folder node of the other server, and Delete the original node.

Thank you very much for the quick reply, I'm going to try it once I have some time to get back to it, as soon as I can confirm I can do the needful I'll be back to close this.

This worked! thank you

        protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        {

            if (stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                return;
            }

            var source = await Node.GetNode(@"<ip>\src", "<user>", "<password>");
            var sourceFiles = await source.GetList();

            var destination = await Node.GetNode(@"<ip>\dst", "<user>", "<password>");

            foreach (var file in sourceFiles)
            {
                var stream = await file.Read();
                await destination.Write(stream, file.Name);
                await file.Delete();
            }
            await Task.Delay(5000);
        }
