I am sorry if this is not the right place to put this question.
I have some files saved inside a SharePoint folder. Now I need to move them to a SharePoint site from that folder.
When I select the folder and select Move To option, I don't see the site in the list of available locations.
Please note, I am not supposed to take the download-upload approach. I have instructed to use the Move To option only.
By the way, I am using the Modern SharePoint UI.
What is the right way of doing this?
In order to move/copy files in sahrepoint to sharepoint you need to follow to destination else the site will not show to you while you move files.
Follow sharepoint site
Once you follow site, then the destination site will show when you select files to move.
Note: you should have enough permissions to move /Copy files in destination location.

I have Sharepoint subsite, and looking to enable copy and move options for users to move files from one location to another within that subsite.
You may try Site Content and Structure currently.

Test demo in my local.
one thread for your reference
we have created a new site and we want to move our team's wiki to the new site.
is there a nice and easy way to do it? we've tried the tree view with drag and drop but it won't work.
Thank you.
Ok so after a number of dead ends, I found a quick and easy solution:
Navigate to the physical folder location for your Sharepoint docs.
[Do this by selecting documents in the menu list, select the library tab and then open with explorer]
Once there navigate to the folder containing your wiki site/s.
They will have a .aspx extension usually
You can then move them to the folder you like.
Note: The site needs to be checked in or the move process will moan
One of the options could be to save a Wiki site as a site template. Then deploy it in a site collection and to create new sites from it. But unfortunately since Wiki site is Publishing based site, it is not supported to Save Site as Template.
But there is another option - moving sites via Site Content and Structure:
You can move individual list items or entire subsites to another
subsite within the site collection. A subsite can be moved to be
directly under the top level in the site collection hierarchy or under
another subsite in the site collection hierarchy. When you move a
subsite, all of the content in the subsite is moved
Steps:
Go to Site Settings, then Content and structure (under Site
Administration)
Select site you would like to move and Move action in the context menu
as shown below on picture
In the Move dialog select a destination (parent site) and
then click OK as shown below on picture
That's it.
you can try opening both sites/libraries in explorer view, side by side, and copy paste them from one to the other
you can also try to save a template out of the wiki including content and then import it
I was trying to find any tool that I can use to create ONET file from the existing SharePoint site. Unfortunately wasn't able to find. Does anybody know anything about that? There should be something besides of manual way to do that... Any MS solutions, third party tools?
As John Saunders is alluding, the simplest approach would be to let SharePoint create it for you. It's not exactly sitting in the site though; you can't just open the site in SharePoint Designer & grab it - but there is a way to get it:
Save the site as a Site Template (with or without content, doesn't matter - but without will be faster/smaller)
Download the STP/WSP from the Site Template (SP2007)/Solutions (SP2010/13) Gallery to your desktop
Change the file extension to .CAB
Use an archive tool (i.e. 7-zip) to unpack the CAB file
Within the unpacked CAB you will see a folder whose name will be the original name of your Site Template + "WebTemplate"
Within that folder will be a sub-folder whose name is just the original name of your Site Template
Within that folder is the ONet.xml file
Can you copy a Composite C1 website? I would like to create a copy of an existing website as a new website.
I start by creating Site A. Then I want to copy it and create Site B.
For example: copy the pages, functions, data, content, layouts, css from website A to website B. The only difference between the two would be the name.
It would infringe copywrites and may get you sued, but yes, its possible with a scraper, which basicly get all of the site, and download it to you, such things are used by google and search engines for a cache of sites.

or just google "web scrapers"
If you own the site however, and have access to the ftp, just simply copy the files to a folder called /b and it can become www.a.com/b or you can set up an addon domain to point to /b and make the addon domain.... say www.b.com
The answer to your question "can you copy a website?"
Is Yes....you can.
Provided you have access to all the files/folders, its no different then copying a bunch of folders on your computer, to another folder.
So if you're using a shared host....and everything is in your public_html folder.
Just put the whole website in one folder, then copy it over to another folder.
And then just simply point your new domain to that folder, through your hosting platform.
The process to do this is different for different hosts, but the actual answer to your question is...
YES....YOU CAN COPY A WEBSITE FROM ONE FOLDER TO ANOTHER
IF you have access to the files on the server you can simply copy it to the other desired location...
But remember you have to update links and other paths (if they are absolute).
If you don't have the access you could maybe use the developer tools like firebug, or using F12 on chrome or IE and copy each file and source code you have by hand. This approach is a little more time consuming than the last one but at least it can be made.

As far as I know the easiest way would be use use Internet Explorers save to offline webpage function (if it is still there) - this will copy all the resources of the currently open webpage and recode the HTML to use them, as for an entire website..I dont think it will be easy, for legal reasons.
If it's your own site, sure why not! Who is there to stop you?
But if it's someone elses site, of course you have to worry about copyright and most of the time the website uses server side scripts which are not downloabeable.
You can duplicate a Composite C1 website by copying the entire file structure to a new folder and then update the installation id in the folder ~/App_Data/Composite/Configuration/InstallationInformation.xml (put in a new random GUID). Then point a new IIS site into this new folder.
If your site is using SQL Server as a backend you also need to create a copy of your database, create a new user account with dbo access for this database and update the connection string in ~/web.config.
If you wish to duplicate an entire page structure inside the existing instance of the CMS and share media files, templates etc. this could be done, but no tooling is available. This would be a coding task.
Copy the the directory(website physical path) where the website is pointing to and paste it somewhere...create a new website and point it to that copied directory....
I've been researching this for a bit and I've found that copying a Sharepoint folder doesn't actually keep the permissions intact.
I've tried mapping the Sharepoint folder to X:\ and then using Robocopy with this command:
Robocopy "X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan" "X:\SharepointFolder\John Lennon" /E /SEC
This copies the folders, but the permissions isn't kept anyway. Actually I get this error message in the cmd window saying
New Dir 0 X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan\Documents\
2011/06/01 11:32:28 ERROR 1 (0x00000001) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Di
rectory X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan\Documents\
Incorrect function.
The thing is, is my syntax incorrect or is it impossible to copy folder permissions in SharePoint?
Copying a folder via WebDAV won't copy any meta data set on the folder. Therefor permissions won't be copied as well.
If you have the Publishing Features turned on, check out the Manage Content and Structure Report. I think it will allow you to move things around within a site collection and perserve your metadata and security.
I had this exact same error. I was using mapped drives to copy data to SharePoint. I found that my xml file on the SharePoint mapped drive (destination) was applied with encryption attributes recently applied to my pc (source).
I am still looking for a way to use robocopy or powershell to remove the encryption from the destination file programatically.
To manually remove the attribute, navigate to the mapped drive, go to properties of the xml file, at the bottom in Attributes click Advanced, uncheck 'Encrypt contents..', apply.
(**For those not sure how to see the attributes)
Open explorer for your mapped drive, on the column header bar right click and choose attributes. You can see the security applied. E is encryption.
I am in developing small Batch File to get Access Control List based on CMD
net user USERID /domain [enter]
I am welcome to everybody have idea to APPLY access permission of SharePoint within CMD. Thank you in advanced. :)
