ecaccess-file-move
ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)
NAME
ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files
SYNOPSIS
ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual
ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file
DESCRIPTION
Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
file-copy ... -erase).
The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.
ARGUMENTS
source-ecaccess-file
The source ECaccess File name.
target-ecaccess-file
The target ECaccess File name.
OPTIONS
-version
Display version number and exits.
-help Print a brief help message and exits.
-manual Prints the manual page and exits.
-debug Display the SOAP messages exchanged.
EXAMPLES
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt
Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt
Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
