Copy contents of a directory to Documents directory - objective-c

Question

I have a problem, I need to move the contents of a Documents subdirectory to the 'root' of Documents Directory.
To do this, I thought to copy all the contents of the subdirectory to Documents directory and then delete my subdirectory.
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentinbox = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"inbox"]
This is how I get the path of Documents directory, and the path of my subdirectory named inbox.
NSArray *inboxContents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentinbox error:nil];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
Then I create an array with all documents in the subfolder, and initialize the file manager.
Now I have to implement the for cycle that for each document copy the document from the subdirectory to the Documents Directory.
for(int i=0;i<[inboxContents count];i++){
//here there is the problem, I don't know how to copy each file
I would like to use the method moveItemAtPath, but I don't know how to get the path of each file.
Hope you can understand my problem,
Thanks for help

You can use moveItemAtPath:toPath:error: as follows.
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentinbox = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"inbox"];
//Initialize fileManager first
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
//You should always check for errors
NSError *error;
NSArray *inboxContents = [fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentinbox error:&error];
//TODO: error handling if inboxContents is nil
for(NSString *source in inboxContents)
{
//Create the path for the destination by appending the file name
NSString *dest = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:
[source lastPathComponent]];
if(![fileManager moveItemAtPath:source
toPath:dest
error:&error])
{
//TODO: Handle error
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}
}
