"|" will be replaced by backticks below Long: strings.ReplaceAll(` 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. To move single files, use the [moveto](/commands/rclone_moveto/) command instead. 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 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| or the |--interactive|/|-i| flag. **Note**: Use the |-P|/|--progress| flag to view real-time transfer statistics. `, "|", "`"), Annotations: map[string]string{ "versionIntroduced": "v1.19", "groups": "Filter,Listing,Important,Copy", }, 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(context.Background(), fdst, fsrc, deleteEmptySrcDirs, createEmptySrcDirs) } return operations.MoveFile(context.Background(), fdst, fsrc, srcFileName, srcFileName) }) }, }
