    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer system, and computer program product for recommending a target location for relocating a file are disclosed. In the method, a source path of a file is obtained. Then, a target starting directory in a target directory system to which the file is to be relocated is determined based on the source path. A directory model representing a subordinated directory system of the target directory system is determined. The directory model comprises at least one path starting with the target starting directory. Then, a similarity of the at least one path in the directory model with respect to the source path is determined. Next, at least one candidate path from the at least one path is recommended based on the similarity.
