If the source is a directory then it acts exactly 19 like the move command. 20 21 So 22 23 rclone moveto src dst 24 25 where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or 26 /path/to/local or C:\windows\path\if\on\windows. 27 28 This will: 29 30 if src is file 31 move it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists 32 if src is directory 33 move it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist 34 see move command for full details 35 36 This doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and 37 modification time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on successful 38 transfer. 39 40 **Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the 41 --dry-run flag. 42 43 **Note**: Use the `-P`/`--progress` flag to view real-time transfer statistics. 44 45 46 ``` 47 rclone moveto source:path dest:path [flags] 48 ``` 49 50 ### Options 51 52 ``` 53 -h, --help help for moveto 54 ``` 55 56 See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here. 57 58 ### SEE ALSO 59 60 * [rclone](/commands/rclone/) - Show help for rclone commands, flags and backends. 61
