Moving files

Files or directories can be moved from one location to another.

The move command supports wildcards.

The move command recursively moves files and directories, and overwrites existing content without prompting for confirmation.

Use the following CLI syntax to move files:

# file> 
    — # move [source-url] string [destination-url] string [client-tls-profile string] [direct-http] [force] [proxy string]

The following example displays the command syntax:

A:node-2>file cf3:\ # dir

Volume in drive cf3 on slot A is TIMOS_VM_CF.

Volume in drive cf3 on slot A is formatted as FAT32

Directory of cf3:\
