MOVING FILES

There are two ways to move a file. You could copy the file to its new destination, and then delete the original source file. This involves unnecessary work. Using the MOVE command, you can move a file from its original location to a new one, all in a single command. If you wanted to move the test.txt file to a USB flash drive at J:

MOVE test.txt J:\

This will move test.txt to the root directory of J, while removing the original source file.

Like COPY and XCOPY, the MOVE command supports the use of wildcard characters. This command will move every file in the current directory to the root directory of J:

MOVE *.* J:\
