Automatic file mover

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good automatic file mover, which can move files to different directories based on rules?

Free would be best but I don't mind paying a little bit. I found this http://www.limagito.com/ , tried the lite version and it's good but its £40.80.

Thanks

What sort of rules? Renamewand can move files based on regular expressions etc in the filenames.

The description seems to suggest that it only renames files/directories, I couldn't see a mention of move/copying files.

It'll move files without any problem, you just need to include a path in the output pattern.

Does this work in a corporate network environment or would it screw up permissions etc (especially whee permissions for source folder are different for target)?

I've only used it on a single machine but it's a pretty simple command line tool so it'll just inherit the privileges of whoever is running it. As long as you can read the source and write to the target it *should* work however I've no idea if it can handle UNC paths.
