In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was
making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in
the man page.
This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and
links each command page to it.
Fixes #3273

## rclone move
|
|
|
|
Move files from source to dest.
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination
|
|
directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and
|
|
the remote does not support a server side directory move operation.
|
|
|
|
If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move
|
|
`source:path` into `dest:path`. After this `source:path` will no
|
|
longer longer exist.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise for each file in `source:path` selected by the filters (if
|
|
any) this will move it into `dest:path`. If possible a server side
|
|
move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible)
|
|
into `dest:path` then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in
|
|
`source:path`.
|
|
|
|
If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the --delete-empty-src-dirs flag.
|
|
|
|
See the [--no-traverse](/docs/#no-traverse) option for controlling
|
|
whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this
|
|
option when moving a small number of files into a large destination
|
|
can speed transfers up greatly.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
|
|
--dry-run flag.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Use the `-P`/`--progress` flag to view real-time transfer statistics.
