Command MOVE
Function:
Moves one or more files to another location.
Syntax:
MOVE [/A | /B] source [destination] [/V] [/N] [/Q]
| source | Specifies the file(s) to be copied. |
| destination | Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s). |
| /A | Ignored. |
| /B | Ignored. |
| /Q | Quiet Mode. Only Error Messages are displayed. |
| /N | Use short file name equivalents instead of long file names. |
| /V | Verifies that new files are written correctly. |
Note:
- All files are opened in binary mode.
- The current directory is used when the parameter destination is not specified.
- When moving files that have long file names from an NTFS partition to a FAT partition, that does not support long file names, the /N switch must be specified to convert the long file names to the equivalent short file names, otherwise the move operation will fail.
- Also see the commands COPY, SCOPY and SMOVE.
