Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and the remote does not support a server side directory move operation.

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. `, Run: func(command *cobra.Command, args []string) { cmd.CheckArgs(2, 2, command, args) fsrc, srcFileName, fdst := cmd.NewFsSrcFileDst(args) cmd.Run(true, true, command, func() error { if srcFileName == "" { return sync.MoveDir(fdst, fsrc, deleteEmptySrcDirs) } return operations.MoveFile(fdst, fsrc, srcFileName, srcFileName) }) }, }
