The MOVE command moves files and renames files and directories.

Syntax

To move one or more files:

MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination

To rename a directory:

MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2

Remarks

[

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.

Options

/Y suppresses prompting to confirm creation of a directory or overwriting
of the destination.

/-Y causes prompting to confirm creation of a directory or overwriting of
the destination. The /Y option may be present in the COPYCMD
environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y.
