Syntax Moves files and renames files and directories. To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination To rename a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2
| [drive:][path]filename1 | Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move. |
| destination | Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you can also include a filename if you want to rename the file when you move it. |
| [drive:][path]dirname1 | Specifies the directory you want to rename. |
| dirname2 | Specifies the new name of the directory. |
| /Y | Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. |
| /-Y | Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. |
The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from within a batch script. Examples move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp Move the files of c:\windows\temp to the temp directory in root, this is of course assuming you have the windows\temp directory. |
