SYNOPSIS

gvfs-move [options] source destination

gvfs-move moves files using GVFS. It supports local files and remote URIs, handling moves across different backends transparently.
The tool provides atomic moves within the same filesystem and copy-then-delete for cross-filesystem moves. It integrates with GNOME's VFS.

DESTINATION

Destination file or URI.

-p, --progress

Show progress.

-i, --interactive

CAVEATS

Deprecated in favor of gio move. GNOME dependencies. Cross-filesystem moves require space.

HISTORY

gvfs-move was developed as part of GVFS for GNOME, now largely replaced by the gio command.
