Main menu - File - Move with dialog


Activating the menu item "File → Move with dialog" or the "F6" key opens a move dialog.


In the menu item "Tools → Settings → File/folder operations" can be defined under "Move" what program should run the move process. One of the following options can be selected there:

  • Use Windows
    If the moving process should be handled by Windows, the Windows standard move function is opened.
  • Use FreeCommander
    FreeCommander's move function is described below.
  • Use external program
    If the moving process should be handled by an external program, dialog and proceeding depend on this program, defined under "Move" in the menu item "Tools → Settings → File/folder operations".


Example for using two different move programs

Like described above, "Use FreeCommander" can be started with "File → Move with dialog" or the "F6" key.

To still allow to use the Windows move function (this may be useful/necessary, if administrator rights are required for the target folder) the function "Win-Move dialog" can be:


FreeCommander offers the further move function "Move without dialog", activated by the menu item "File → Move" or the shortcut "Shift+F6".
