"Command prompt" is something for interactive use. Therefore, the question is not about programming. Off-topic.

Please see my comment to the question. However, they key is this: you cannot move anything if you don't have some service on the remote system which can participate in the operation. On a LAN, a typical service is a file sharing service (the style of your question strongly suggests that you are using a Windows system). In this case, move operation from/to the host with a shared directory is not different from the operations with your local file system. The remove files names can be UNC names. Please see:

hi Gayathri, You can do that by using the Copy command. You need to access the network drive with the server IP and drive name with $. Here is an example

C++

C:\Users\Gayathri>COPY D:\FileToBeMoved.txt \\192.168.10.5\D$\FileToBeMoved.txt

This will definitely work. Here the IP 192.168.10.5 is the target server where you want to move the file.
