# Move a file

Launch stage: GA

`POST /api/2.0/dbfs/move`

Moves a file from one location to another location within DBFS.
 If the source file does not exist, this call throws an exception with `RESOURCE_DOES_NOT_EXIST`.
 If a file already exists in the destination path, this call throws an exception with `RESOURCE_ALREADY_EXISTS`.
 If the given source path is a directory, this call always recursively moves all files.
