mode - The mode is the function that the mgiModifyFileSystem tag performs. In "createFile" mode, the file listed in the itemLocation parameter is created. In "createFolder" mode, the folder listed in the itemLocation parameter is created. In "delete" mode, the file or folder listed in the itemLocation parameter is deleted. In "move" mode, the file or folder listed in the itemLocation parameter is moved to the location listed in the targetLocation parameter. In "rename" mode, the file or folder listed in the itemLocation parameter is renamed to the name listed in the targetLocation parameter. In the "copy" mode, the file or folder listed in the itemLocation parameter is copied to the location listed in the targetLocation parameter.
itemLocation - The itemLocation is the relative path to the file or folder.

targetLocation - The targetLocation is the relative path to the moved or renamed file or folder. The targetLocation parameter is required for the "move", "rename" and "copy" modes.
