Here, we will see how we can move the data. We will use shutil.move() for this purpose. shutil.move(source, destination) will move the file from source to destination. Now, we will create a shutil_move_example.py script and write the following content in it:

import shutil
shutil.move('/home/student/sample.txt', '/home/student/Desktop/.')

Run the script as follows:

$ python3 shutil_move_example.py

In this script, our file to move is sample.txt, which is in the /home/student directory. /home/student is our source folder and /home/student/Desktop is our destination folder. So, after running the script, sample.txt will be moved from /home/student to the /home/student/Desktop directory.
