How to move a file to a file share without needing a subfolder?

When using the FeatureWriter, it wants me to provide a subfolder. I cannot leave it blank. I need to be able to write the file to the root of the file share. I am doing a move and not a copy.

 

any thoughts?

Try the File Copy Writer. Seems like that would be more applicable here.

Thank you for your response. I switched it to FileCopyWriter, however it created a folder called PATH . You cannot leave the value blank as far as I can see (see attached). Is there a User Parameter I should be selecting?

I need to set Feature Type Names as Subfolders to Yes, otherwise the files are NOT removed from the source. Yes, it is set as move and not a copy. Still copies the files to a subfolder in the root instead of just dropping the files in the root of the share.
