I have a workflow moving the processed file to an archive folder at the end. This worked perfectly until very recent. The node now fails and reports the source file was not found. I invested quite some time debugging with the result, that the source was (still) absolutely ok (tested it with various other nodes and it worked). After some additional tests, I found out, that the only input the node accepts as destination is a folder. Bad news for my workflow(s) as I move and rename the file so I need a file as destination. Any idea how to overcome this issue - my solution doesn’t work anymore ….

Hi Ivan I resolved the issue and found the bug in my workflow (I used a file separator variable that didn’t fitted the target file system :-(). Many thanks for your great support, I was really stuck before and when trying to build the example workflow, I found out it still works and my workflow must be the issue. Have a great friday and once more thank you for your help! Marco
