Yeah.... You are correct, moving a file into a file would not make
sense.....
moving existing files into the Temp Items folder can be tricky
business....
Can I ask why you're not creating them there in the first place using
GetTemporaryFolderItem???
Otherwise (if you are not using the system provided temporary items
folder), consider doing it this way:
Store a reference to your temp folder in a property
if not tempFolder.child(tempFile.name).exists then
tempfile.moveFileTo(tempFolder)
else
//error, already exists...
end
