Members

	Member name	Description
	CopyFile	The FileSystemTask will copy a file. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	MoveFile	The FileSystemTask will move a file. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	DeleteFile	The FileSystemTask will delete a file. IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	RenameFile	The FileSystemTask will rename a file. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	SetAttributes	The FileSystemTask will set the attributes of a file or directory. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	CreateDirectory	The FileSystemTask will create a directory. IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	CopyDirectory	The FileSystemTask will copy a directory. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	MoveDirectory	The FileSystemTask will move a directory. Both IsDestinationPathVariable and IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	DeleteDirectory	The FileSystemTask will delete a directory. IsSourcePathVariable must be set.
	DeleteDirectoryContent	The FileSystemTask will delete the content of a directory. IsSourcePathVariable must be set.

Examples

The following code example creates a FileSystemTask as an Executable in a package. The FileSystemTask copies a test folder, which contains two subfolders and a .txt file, to another folder. The folder and subfolders are copied because the action to perform, as indicated by the Operation property, is set to CopyDirectory.
