I wanted to move a file to a network location e.g:  
$Source$\directory\file -\> \server\path\file  
  
Move the file without overwriting is no problem. If i delete it first (delete task) and move it is working too but if i try to overwrite the file i get this:  
  
Failed to move file ‘C:\DATA\AGENTWS\Ws\711\Source\dir\file.jar’. Exception: (1176) Unable to move the replacement file to the file to be replaced. The file to be replaced has retained its original name: [\?\C:\DATA\AGENTWS\Ws\711\Source\<span style=“color: #bc2626; background-color: #fcfcfc;”\>dir\file.jar]: [\?\UNC\server\path\file.jar]  
  
Regards
