Ftp Move Files Dynamic Action

About

The FTP Move Files Action is an essential functionality that facilitates the relocation of files from one directory to another on an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server. This action streamlines the file management process by enabling users to efficiently reorganize files without needing to download them to a local machine first. By automating file movements, this action enhances workflow efficiency and reduces the potential for errors associated with manual file handling.
