Example 1: The below code demonstrates the ASP File.Move Method.

ASP

<%
dim fs,f,ts
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Getting the file to be copied
set f=fs.GetFile("d:\GFG.txt")

'Reading the contents of the file
set ts=f.OpenAsTextStream(1)
Response.Write("Original File Content: " & ts.ReadAll)
ts.Close

'Moving the file to the given path
f.Move("d:\newfolder\GFG.txt")

Response.write("<br>" & "File is Moved!" & "<br>")

'Getting the moved file
set f=fs.GetFile("d:\newfolder\GFG.txt")

'Reading the contents of the moved file
set ts=f.OpenAsTextStream(1)
Response.Write("Moved File Content: " & ts.ReadAll)
ts.Close

set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
