Documented steps
Move and rename an object: mc mv ALIAS/src/source.txt ALIAS/dst/renamed.txt
Recursively move bucket/prefix contents: mc mv --recursive ALIAS/src ALIAS/dst
Move local files up to a bucket: mc mv --recursive ~/data ALIAS/BUCKET
Move only objects newer than an age: mc mv --recursive --newer-than 7d ALIAS/src ALIAS/dst
Re-encrypt with SSE-S3 while moving: mc mv --recursive --enc-s3 ALIAS/BUCKET/prefix ALIAS/BUCKET2
Known gotchas
mc mv REMOVES the source after a successful move - it is destructive; use mc cp if you must keep the source.
Use --recursive whenever the source is a directory/bucket, otherwise only top-level objects move.
The last SOURCE argument is treated as TARGET and may differ from source to rename the object.
--tags and --checksum require client RELEASE.2025-07-15T21-10-32Z or later; MinIO recommends multipart upload for objects over 100MB (disable with --disable-multipart).
