# exo storage move
### Description

Move objects within a bucket or across buckets.

This command moves objects by performing a server-side copy followed by
a delete of the source object. Object metadata, headers, and ACLs are
preserved.

Warning: move is implemented as server-side copy followed by delete.
If the delete step fails after a successful copy, the object will
remain in both locations. There is no automatic rollback.

Multi-object prefix moves are processed serially. A trailing slash on the
source selects prefix mode; -r controls recursion into subdirectories.

Examples:

    exo storage move sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://my-bucket/folder/

    exo storage move sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://other-bucket/file-a

    exo storage move -r sos://my-bucket/prefix/ sos://other-bucket/prefix/

    exo storage move -n sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://other-bucket/


```
exo storage move sos://BUCKET/[OBJECT|PREFIX/] sos://BUCKET/[OBJECT|PREFIX/] [flags]
```
