The script uses two variables, inFiles and archiveFiles. The variable inFiles contains the folder we want to move files from, and archiveFiles is the destination.

Configure your variables in BIDS like below.

Add a script task to the designer.

Right click the script task, choose ‘Edit’ then ‘Script’. Add the inFiles and archiveFiles variables to the ReadOnlyVariables textbox.

Click the “Design Script” button and paste the below code into the VSA editor.

' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task

' The ScriptMain class is the entry point of the Script Task.

    ' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,

        Dim dateSeparator As String = System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.DateSeparator
        Dim timeSeparator As String = System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.TimeSeparator

        ' Used to create a datetime stamped folder removing separators

        ' Check folder paths end with a "\"
        If inFiles.EndsWith("\") = False Then
            inFiles &= "\"
        End If

        If archiveFiles.EndsWith("\") = False Then
            archiveFiles &= "\"
        End If

        archiveFiles &= dt

        ' Create datetime stamp archive folder if it doesn't already exist
        If dir.Exists(archiveFiles) = False Then
            dir.CreateDirectory(archiveFiles)
        End If

        ' Move all files to archive
        For Each archFile As String In dir.GetFiles(inFiles)
            dir.Move(archFile, archiveFiles & "\" & archFile.Substring(archFile.LastIndexOf("\") + 1, archFile.Length - archFile.LastIndexOf("\") - 1))
        Next

        Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

    End Sub

End Class

Place some files into the location your inFiles variable points to. Then right click the script task and choose “Execute Task”.

Once the package has executed successfully the files will be moved to archiveFiles from inFiles.
