rclone: Move file or directory from local source to remote destination.
$ rclone move ${filename_or_directory} ${remote_name}:${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "rclone move" is used to move files or directories from a local location to a remote location using the rclone tool. Here's an explanation of the different elements in the command:

  • ${filename_or_directory}: This is a placeholder representing the file or directory you want to move. You need to replace it with the actual name or path of the file/directory you wish to move.

  • ${remote_name}: This is another placeholder that refers to the name of the remote storage provider that you have configured with rclone. It could be something like "google-drive" or "dropbox". You should replace it with the appropriate remote storage name.

  • ${path-to-directory}: This placeholder represents the destination directory in the remote storage where you want to move the file/directory. Specify the path to the desired directory after the remote name.

By substituting these placeholders with the relevant information, the command instructs rclone to move the specified file or directory to the specified location within the remote storage.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
