If you want to move content of Reports folder (incl. all subfoldrs with their content and deeper):
(txt = File('~/Desktop/move.txt')).open('w')
txt.write('move ' + (src=(src='X:\\qa\\team\\Saravanan' )
+ '\\Reports ') + src + '\\mergefiles\\temp')
txt.close(), txt.rename('move.bat');
(txt = File(txt.fullName.replace(/txt/, 'bat'))).execute()
bol = false; while (!bol) {
if (bol = !Folder(SRC).exists) txt.remove(), Folder(SRC).create()
}
Or you may use shorter version:
system('move ' + (src=(

Yup just had to sleep on it. Photoshop has the app method "system". Sends Terminal commands on Mac, Command Prompt on Windows. So a few tweaks. One thing different is you don't pass file objects. Instead just String objects of the full paths. And now the destination includes the file name, not just the folder. An added benefit of this difference is that the file can be renamed when moved. If not just have the same name in the "to" argument, as my example call at top shows. Also this won't deal w

@sarshan why did you marked @mauricior6328708​​ post as an correct 'answer' to your question if that was post he made for me to show me what he means and there is no any solution you needed 
. I mean you marked wrong answer by mistake? 
So now is correct 
although the most important for me is that I learnt how to do that you needed by few ways. I had to make some tests before those codes started working. All because so far I never used system() for moving files while only once JavaScript loop. This time I had to write it from beggining because I completely forgot how I did it in past
Thank you for posting it. I didn't notice it, but now I can't correct as editing operation is blocked after somone answered to that post. That's little mistake, but for beginners that may be not possible to find it. Funny I visited this topic yestarday after long time and had to answer to someone who posted here when I was few months inactive Now I shouldn't forget it
Hi Kukurykus. Very useful your script, I could see here that it perfectly moves the file to the referring subfolder but only in the format "JPG". Could you make a slight modification in it so it can move with the original extension? If for example in PSD and move as JPG, I can no longer do edits in the layers. 
Thanks for the Script.
Script:
Folder((fnp = (fle = (aD = activeDocument).fullName).parent + '/Roland-Prints/')).create()
aD.saveAs(File(fnp + aD.name), new JPEGSaveOptions()), aD.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES), File(fle).remove()
The function move_folder (src_path, dst_path) moves the entire contents of the src_path folder including all subfolders to the dst_path folder even if the folders are on different disks.
Works under windows. Verified!
alert(move_folder("C:\\A1", "C:\\A2\\X1\\X2"))
//alert(move_folder("C:\\A1", "D:\\A2\\X1\\X2"))
