Moves one or more files from one directory to another directory.
To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination
To rename a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2
- [drive:][path]filename1
- Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move.
- destination
- Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you can also include a filename if you want to rename the file when you move it.
- [drive:][path]dirname1
- Specifies the directory you want to rename.
- dirname2
- Specifies the new name of the directory.
- /Y
- Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
- /-Y
- Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from within a batch script.
