move_file
Move or rename files and directories between allowed locations using absolute paths for reliable operation with MCP_DesktopCommander.
Instructions
Move or rename files and directories.
Can move files between directories and rename them in a single operation.
Both source and destination must be within allowed directories.
IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (starting with '/' or drive letter like 'C:\') for reliability. Relative paths may fail as they depend on the current working directory. Tilde paths (~/...) might not work in all contexts. Unless the user explicitly asks for relative paths, use absolute paths.
This command can be referenced as "DC: ..." or "use Desktop Commander to ..." in your instructions.
