Oh, mc can move instead of copy.
Really?? Wow.
rsync can't.
Please, reading the manual is often advisable before offering opinions. The option is "--remove-source-files".
That is not "--move". And besides, I'm talking of actually moving, not copying to new destination and deleting the original. Only the directory entries change, maybe something in the inodes, but the content is not moved from its sectors on the disk. When doing it with rsync, first I do an actual copy with rsync, then check that all went well using 'mc' to do a compare, then I delete the source. Three operations, paranoid mode. I would never use "--remove-source-files". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
