Add & Replace Files Action
The Add & Replace Files action allows for adding file(s) into a designated folder on the target system. You can choose from a list of target client folders. By default, the Application Directory is where the designated files will be placed.
Folders can be pathed relative to the target client folder by setting the subdirectories property.
Files can be added to the AppLife Package list by clicking the Add files button on the right of the list or by selecting the context menu item Add File(s). These files are added to the AppLife Package during the package build.
The files that are designated must be present for this action to be valid.
