Syntax
Moves files and renames files and directories.
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.
Examples
move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp
Move the files of
c:\windows\temp to the temp directory in root, this is of course assuming you have the
windows\temp directory.
