Hi Vivekananthan, Comparing the linux file operations,
*cp -r in/ out/* "in" folder is copied to the "out" folder and "in" folder will be inside the "out" folder. *cp in/* out/* contents of the "in" folder is copied to the "out" folder and there will be no "in" folder inside the "out" folder. This is similar to copy operation in the connector when the source is a folder. *mv in/ out/* "in" folder is moved to the "out" folder and "in" folder will be inside the "out" folder. "in" folder is removed in the operation. *mv in/* out/* contents of the "in" folder is moved to the "out" folder and there will be no "in" folder inside the "out" folder. After the operation "in" folder is also there. *mv in/aa.txt out/* "aa.txt" file will be moved to the "out" folder. We don't need to specify the destination file name. *mv in/aa.txt out/aa.txt* "aa.txt" file will be moved to the "out" folder. This is similar to the file move operation in the connector. Please do consider the above mentioned linux file copy and move operations and the connector behavior.
