Move Files from one folder or directory to another folder or directory using the PowerShell. This is helpful in PowerShell Automation scripts.
Use the below command to copy a file using PowerShell.
Move-Item -Path "path\of\file\to\be\copied" -Destination "path\where\to\copy\the\file"
Please find the illustration below:

Suppose we have to move a file “TextFile.txt” to “check” folder (as shown above). We can use any one of below command.
Move-Item -Path "D:\Test\TextFile.txt" -Destination "D:\Test\check"
Move-Item -Path "D:\Test\TextFile.txt" -Destination "D:\Test\check\TextFile.txt"



You can also rename file in destination folder using this command. For example.
Move-Item -Path "D:\Test\TextFile.txt" -Destination "D:\Test\check\Text123.txt"
