File moving/copying source folfer to destination folder, GetPath XML file helps to put the name of Source folder and destination folder with numbers of file to be copy or move

Introduction

Its a utility software for using file moving source folder to destination folder.

Using the code

File move utility is used for moving file source to destination folder, There is no interface, it will work internally.
In bin folder one GetPath.xml used for Indicating source and destination path other one attributes fileCount is used for indicating that how much file will be move

Other functionality is error log if any error persist then error description is added on ErrorLog.txt, and then it will terminating.
