SnapCompletionService

When I change the of TO_PATH like /sure/[Different name] then it work and make new file and copy file in [Different name]

@Adi4 As Здравко said, your destination path should include the destination file name as well, not just the parent folder.

So for example, it sounds like what you actually want is something like this instead:

TO_PATH = /sure/automat/copyfile

Hi @Adi4,

The behaviour, you described, is something normal (strange would be different one). When you copy something (either file or folder) the destination should not exist! It will be created on copying. When destination exists (folder in particular case), the error you're receiving is something normal. If you want to copy the contained file, better point it both in source and destination path. 😉 If, by any chance, multiple files have to be copied, use batch version of 'copy'.

Hope this helps.
