It's a real shame that people don't use or even know the basics anymore. This is a trivial task easily done without loops, GUIs, or any of the other unnecessary stuff if you go back to the simplicity of the operating system.

MOVE "G:\MainFolder\Folder\*.txt" "G:\MainFolder\"

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

To execute this in SSIS, you're going to need an Execute Process task which references cmd.exe as its executable (example here).
