OS: Debian. I want to be able to move files and folders around as root and from the command line without changing the owner and group. Is it possible?

rsync:

-A, --acls preserve ACLs (implies --perms) -X, --xattrs preserve extended attributes -o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only) -g, --group preserve group --devices preserve device files (super-user only) --specials preserve special files

man rsync

The mv team retains ownership and time stamps. There are various command line options for the cp command that you can use. for instance

 cp -p file1 file2

man cp display all available options
