# Transfer

## Description

The subcommand can be used to transfer tokens from account to account.

## Positional Parameters

* `(string) sender` — The account sending tokens (required).
* `(string) recipient` — The account receiving tokens (required).
* `(string) amount` — The amount of tokens to send (required).
* `(string) memo` — The memo for the transfer.

## Options

* `--contract`, `-c` *TEXT* — The contract which controls the token.
* `--pay-ram-to-open` — Pay ram to open recipient's token balance row.
* `-x`, `--expiration` *TEXT* — Set the time (in seconds) before a transaction expires, defaults to *30* s.
* `-f`, `--force-unique` — Force the transaction to be unique. This will consume extra bandwidth and remove any protections against accidently issuing the same transaction multiple times.
* `-s`, `--skip-sign` — Specify if unlocked wallet keys should be used to sign transaction.
* `-j`, `--json` — Print result as JSON.
* `-d`, `--dont-broadcast` — Do not broadcast transaction to the network (just print to `stdout`).
* `--return-packed` — Used in conjunction with `--dont-broadcast` to get the packed transaction.
* `-r`, `--ref-block` *TEXT* — Set the reference block num or block id used for TAPOS (Transaction as Proof-of-Stake).
* `-p`, `--permission` *TEXT* — An account and permission level to authorize, as in 'account\@permission' (defaults to 'sender\@active').
* `--max-cpu-usage-ms` *UINT* — Set an upper limit on the milliseconds of CPU usage budget, for the execution of the transaction (defaults to *0* which means no limit).
* `--max-net-usage` *UINT* — Set an upper limit on the net usage budget (in bytes) for the transaction (defaults to *0* which means no limit).
* `--max-ram-usage` *UINT* — Set an upper limit on the ram usage budget (in bytes) for the transaction (defaults to *0* which means no limit).
* `--max-storage-usage` — Set an upper limit on the storage usage budget, (in bytes) for the transaction (defaults to *0* which means no limit).
* `--delay-sec` *UINT* — Set the `delay_sec` seconds, defaults to *0* s.
* `--bandwidth-provider` *TEXT* — Set an account which provide own bandwidth for transaction.
* `--dont-declare-names` — Do not add `declarenames` action for resolved account names.
