403 when using moveto/copyto and UserCredential

[protis-pennington]

I keep getting a 403 error when trying to move a file to another directory within sharepoint:

url = "https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/Bench/Shared Documents/General/A/test_file.xlsx"

File\
    .from_url(url)\
    .with_credentials(UserCredential(user_name=<username>, password=<password>))\
    .moveto("/sites/Bench/Shared Documents/General/B/test_file.xlsx", 1)\
    .execute_query()

gets me:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: FORBIDDEN for url: https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/Bench/_api/Web/getFileByServerRelativeUrl('%2Fsites%2FBench%2FShared%2520Documents%2FGeneral%2FA%2Ftest_file.xlsx')/moveto(newurl='%2Fsites%2FBench%2FShared%20Documents%2FGeneral%2FB%2Ftest_file.xlsx',flags=1)

i should have permission to access this directory and downloading files works using

File\
    .from_url(url)\
    .with_credentials(UserCredential(user_name=<username>, password=<password>))\
    .download(local_file)\
    .execute_query()

am i missing something obvious? not familiar with sharepoint...

versions:

Python 3.9.10

I've never been able to get UserCredential to work: credentials=UserCredential(sharepoint_user,sharepoint_password) Traceback (most recent call last):

File "[file].py", line 1, in <module> credentials=UserCredential(sharepoint_user,sharepoint_password)

NameError: name 'UserCredential' is not defined

The following does seem to work for me: ClientContext(url).with_user_credentials(sharepoint_user,sharepoint_password)
