If the source is a directory then it acts exactly 20 like the move command. 21 22 So 23 24 rclone moveto src dst 25 26 where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or 27 /path/to/local or C:\windows\path\if\on\windows. 28 29 This will: 30 31 if src is file 32 move it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists 33 if src is directory 34 move it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist 35 see move command for full details 36 37 This doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and 38 modification time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on successful 39 transfer. 40 41 **Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the 42 --dry-run flag. 43 44 **Note**: Use the `-P`/`--progress` flag to view real-time transfer statistics. 45 46 47 ``` 48 rclone moveto source:path dest:path [flags] 49 ``` 50 51 ## Options 52 53 ``` 54 -h, --help help for moveto 55 ``` 56 57 See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here. 58 59 ## SEE ALSO 60 61 * [rclone](/commands/rclone/) - Show help for rclone commands, flags and backends. 62
