# rclone moveto
|
|
|
|
Move file or directory from source to dest.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
If source:path is a file or directory then it moves it to a file or
|
|
directory named dest:path.
|
|
|
|
This can be used to rename files or upload single files to other than
|
|
their existing name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly
|
|
like the [move](/commands/rclone_move/) command.
|
|
|
|
So
|
|
|
|
rclone moveto src dst
|
|
|
|
where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or
|
|
/path/to/local or C:\windows\path\if\on\windows.
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
|
|
if src is file
|
|
move it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
|
|
if src is directory
|
|
move it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
|
|
see move command for full details
|
|
|
|
This doesn't transfer files that are identical on src and dst, testing
|
|
by size and modification time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on
|
|
successful transfer.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
|
|
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Use the `-P`/`--progress` flag to view real-time transfer statistics.

Flags for anything which can Copy a file.
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
-I, --ignore-times Don't skip items that match size and time - transfer all unconditionally
|
|
--immutable Do not modify files, fail if existing files have been modified
|
|
--inplace Download directly to destination file instead of atomic download to temp/rename
|
|
--max-backlog int Maximum number of objects in sync or check backlog (default 10000)

|
|
-M, --metadata If set, preserve metadata when copying objects
|
|
--modify-window Duration Max time diff to be considered the same (default 1ns)
|
|

|
|
--multi-thread-streams int Number of streams to use for multi-thread downloads (default 4)
|
|
--multi-thread-write-buffer-size SizeSuffix In memory buffer size for writing when in multi-thread mode (default 128Ki)
|
|
--no-check-dest Don't check the destination, copy regardless
|
|
--no-traverse Don't traverse destination file system on copy
|
|
--no-update-dir-modtime Don't update directory modification times
|
|

|
|
--order-by string Instructions on how to order the transfers, e.g. 'size,descending'
|
|
--partial-suffix string Add partial-suffix to temporary file name when --inplace is not used (default ".partial")
|
|
--refresh-times Refresh the modtime of remote files
|
|
--server-side-across-configs Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different configs
|
|
--size-only Skip based on size only, not modtime or checksum
|
|
--streaming-upload-cutoff SizeSuffix Cutoff for switching to chunked upload if file size is unknown, upload starts after reaching cutoff or when file ends (default 100Ki)
