I must admit the FileCopyWriter feels less intuitive then most other writers, but you just need to check the documentation.
If you only want to move a file from one directory to another, you need to feed the writer an attribute "filecopy_source_dataset" with the original filepath. Define the destination folder in the "dataset" field in the writer and off you go. See the format attributes.
If you use "filecopy_dest_dataset" it will overrule the "dataset" field in the writer.
If you want to rename the file, you can do this using the attribute "filecopy_dest_ filename".
Attached 2019.1 workspace template, demoing moving files from folder input to folder output.
Awesome, thank you for help.

Any warnings in the log?
If "Overwrite Existing File" is set to No, and the file already exists, nothing will happen.
But a warning will be added in the log:

Might be. Replace the default writer with a featurewriter, you can then define an outputport for the written features to ensure the file is written before you move it.
Mate works perfect, BIG thank you for all the help!!!!!
