Sharepoint - Moving files between libraries

Question

Hi im trying to move a large number of files between sharepoint libraries, but keep running into this issue where it says.
Can someone advice what did i do wrong here..

Move-PnPFile : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.

My code is as followed

$SiteURL = "https://XXXXX.sharepoint.com/sites/XXXXXX"
$SourceLibraryURL = "Shared Documents/XXXXXX" #Site Relative URL from the current site
$TargetLibraryURL = "/sites/XXXXXXX/Shared%20Documents/XXXXXXX" #Server Relative URL of the Target Folder

Connect to PnP Online

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL

Get all Items from the Document Library

$Items = Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl $SourceLibraryURL | Where {$_.Name -ne "Forms"}

Move All Files and Folders Between Document Libraries

Foreach($Item in $Items)
{
Move-PnPFile -SourceUrl $Item.ServerRelativeUrl -TargetUrl $TargetLibraryURL -AllowSchemaMismatch -Force -AllowSmallerVersionLimitOnDestination
Write-host "Moved Item:"$Item.ServerRelativeUrl
}

Hi @Hafiz Hussain ,

According to my research and testing, you can try to use the following code to move files between libraries:

#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies  
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"  
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"  
    
#powershell script to move files in sharepoint online - Function  
Function Move-SPOFile([String]$SiteURL, [String]$SourceFileURL, [String]$TargetFileURL)  
{  
    Try{  
        #Setup the context  
        $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)  
        $Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)  
        
        #sharepoint online powershell to move files  
        $MoveCopyOpt = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.MoveCopyOptions  
        $Overwrite = $True  
        [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.MoveCopyUtil]::MoveFile($Ctx, $SourceFileURL, $TargetFileURL, $Overwrite, $MoveCopyOpt)  
        $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()  
    
        Write-host -f Green "File Moved Successfully!"  
    }  
    Catch {  
    write-host -f Red "Error Moving the File!" $_.Exception.Message  
    }  
}  
    
#Set Config Parameters  
$SiteURL="https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/zellatest"  
$SourceFileURL="https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/zellatest/upload/theme.docx"  
$TargetFileURL="https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/zellatest/test1/theme.docx"  
    
#Get Credentials to connect  
$Cred= Get-Credential  
    
#Call the function to Move the File  
Move-SPOFile $SiteURL $SourceFileURL $TargetFileURL  

My test result:
