Please provide more details. How are you attempting to move the files? etc

Are you using a Foreach/File container?

no, just :
MOVE /Y c:\x\*.txt c:\y\

I would recommend using a script task in SSIS. You can search on the FileSystemObject class... it has an Exists method for both files and folders.
After searching on the class, if you would like to use it let me know what you are thinking of doing (english explanation of what you want the code to do) and I would be happy to provide some direction on writing the script task.

the FileSystemObject i know from vbscript, where do i find it in the SSIS?
what i want to to is :
if there are files in the Folder them move them from X to Y, and move the the next step in the SSIS.
if there are NO file, then exit the SSIS, reporting of a ending the job but not on as failure (like it happens to me today).
thanks

Are you using a Foreach/File container?
You might want to look at using the For Each container. You can configure it to only move the files it finds. If it does not find any then it does not try to move any.

how do you do that?
any way if there are no file i want to exit the SSIS and not continue, beacuse the next step depend's on that, that there files i nthe new folder!

I will have to agree with Alvin on this one. You can either create an Execute Process task to move from Folder A to folder B and then create a "For Each" task set to the Foreach File Enumerator linked to Folder B (see BOL for more info on this task) with your processing inside or you can create a "For Each" task to Folder A, process the file, and then move that specific file.
FYI, when I move a file in a For Each loop I use a Script task with something like this:
Public Sub Main()
Dim f As New IO.FileInfo(Dts.Variables("TextFile").Value.ToString)
If Not IO.Directory.Exists(Dts.Variables("ProcessedFolder").Value.ToString) Then
IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Dts.Variables("ProcessedFolder").Value.ToString)
End If
IO.File.Move(Dts.Variables.Item("TextFile").Value.ToString, Dts.Variables("ProcessedFolder").Value.ToString + "\" + f.Name)
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
Note: this will fail if anything has the file open.

You can use a File System Task to do the move. It requires much less programming. There's no need to use ActiveX or VB script for moving files anymore.

You can? Oooh! I got to learn something new! Thanks, Alvin, I will have to give that a try (I have never noticed that task). Come from a programming background... but as always the first approach is seldom the best!

ok
but if there are no file to move
how can i prevent from the SSIS to go to the next step?
April 6, 2009 at 1:39 pm
If your logic is in a for each loop than if there is no objects in the array nothing within that loop will be executed (0 items = execute 0 times).

Inside the Foreach Loop Container, I would use a Script Task to increment the value of a variable each time the loop executes. Then I would use that variable in the Precedence Constraint and only go forward if the value is greater than 0.
