Move a single file while changing its encoding from "latin1" to "utf-8".

<move
file="myfile.txt"
tofile="mycopy.txt"
inputencoding="latin1"
outputencoding="utf-8" />

Move a set of files.

    <move todir="${build.dir}">
    <fileset basedir="bin">
        <include name="*.dll" />
    </fileset>
</move>

Move a set of files to a directory, replacing @TITLE@ with "Foo Bar" in all files.

    <move todir="../backup/dir">
    <fileset basedir="src_dir">
        <include name="**/*" />
    </fileset>
    <filterchain>
        <replacetokens>
            <token key="TITLE" value="Foo Bar" />
        </replacetokens>
    </filterchain>
</move>

Move an entire directory and its contents.

    <move tofile="target/dir">
  <fileset basedir="source/dir"/>
</move>

Files are only moved if the source file is newer than the destination file, or if the destination file does not exist. However, you can explicitly overwrite files with the NAnt.Core.Tasks.CopyTask.Overwrite attribute.

A NAnt.Core.Types.FileSet can be used to select files to move. To use a NAnt.Core.Types.FileSet, the NAnt.Core.Tasks.CopyTask.ToDirectory attribute must be set.

Encoding

Unless an encoding is specified, the encoding associated with the system's current ANSI code page is used.

An UTF-8, little-endian Unicode, and big-endian Unicode encoded text file is automatically recognized, if the file starts with the appropriate byte order marks.
