(again MPE 6.0 so no 7.5 FTPDOC)
My FTPDOC didn't have move in it.
but in ftp:

ftp> help put
PUT local-file [remote-file][;buildparms][;move]

Store a local file on the remote system.  If remote-file is not
specified, the local file name is used.  Optionally, build parameters
can be specified if the remote is an MPE/XL system.  Non-MPE/XL FTP
Servers will not interpret the build parameters as intended.

The move option requests that the specified source file be physically
moved from the source location to the specified target location.

Note: the removal of the original source file may be guarded by
      file system security.


I've not run across the ";move" option before on hpux,linux,windows ftp.
So I suspect it may only be valid for  MPE to MPE transfers.
Just a guess.

(I won't comment on the "help" ... "feature" of ftp, or etc.
 we might agree :)
 ftp on my hpux 11.11 an Linux RH have same help info

ftp> help put
put             send one file
ftp>
