**`dav move [-pcO] [-L <lock>] <url> <url>`**

Moves the resource identified by *url1* to the location *url2*. Currently *url1* and *url2* must be on the same host. 

If *url2* already exists, the command aborts, unless the `-O` option is specified.

The command uses a single WebDAV MOVE request to move the resources.
You may use file name and path decryption to copy and encrypted resource.
Please note that the target location will be exactly *url2*, so the top most collection name will not be disguised.
See [encryption][2] for more details on how encryption works.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption for *url1*

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption for *url1*

**`-O`** overwrite the destination resource

**`-L <lock>`** use a lock token. See [dav lock][1]

**Command alias:** mv
