Environment

Micro Focus Filr 3.1
Micro Focus Filr 3.0
Novell Filr 2.0

Situation

In the Filr Web interface, when moving one of more folders to a new location the interface returns an I/O error message:

<foldername> could not be moved because of an I/O error.

The error appears because the destination folder already contains a folder with the same name.

Resolution

 A fix for this issue is available in the Filr 3.2 Update. With the fix in place, when users attempt to move folders and the destination folder already contains a folder with the same name, the following error will be displayed:

<foldername> could not be moved because that name already exists.
