i wonder how windows exactly handle these task:
i have a file on a shared folder: \\server\my_file.txt
And now i want to move (not copy) this file to: \\server\my new folder\my_file.txt
What does windows do exactly when i start the move progress from my local machine? Does it copy the file to my local machine before moving it into the new location?
If you move a file to the same share it will be moved without transferring to your machine:
\\server\share\file.txt -> \\server\share\new folder\file.txtIf you move a file to the different share it will be transferred to your machine and back to the destination share:
\\server\share1\file.txt -> your machine -> \\server\share2\new folder\file.txt
