I have a character that has a freighter. But to be able to buy that freighter I made quite some enemies in the past. I learned from my mistakes and created another character, did some flying, missions etc. and kept the number of enemies to the minimum. Can I pass the freighter to this char in one or another way?
/movechar is between accounts AFAIK.
You need to understand that your "character" IS your ship in the game, including equipment, name, and reputation. If you move your character to another account, the ship, name and reputation all move along to the new account. It's not possible to merge a ship from one character and the reputation from another, or move ships and reputations separated from each other in any way - the reputation is always attached to the ship.

IMHO the reputation is attached to the character, otherwise one couldn't buy another ship.
What I want is to "sell" a ship from one character to another character WITHIN THE SAME ACCOUNT.
What I always can do is to sell the ship, transfer the resulting money to the other account and let him buy the freighter again. But then I would loose millions on the deal And I'm not sure yet if it is worth the effort.
Thanks anyway for your answer!

You unfortunately confirm what I already thought. OK that's life
Another alternative would be to simply delete the ship with your char's name and rename the new ship with the original character name. InRP you could in effect be buying a new ship with the same character.
Precedence? In the vanilla campaign you are encouraged to buy a new ship and lay low for a while after Liberty turns on you.
1) Reputation belongs to the character, not the ship. Your char with bad rep could swap to a Starflier and it would have the same reputation.
2) There are no mechanisms to transfer ships separate from the character. The closest you can get here is to sell the ship to an NPC and use the cash to buy it with another character, but you will take a huge hit on selling.
Oh, it seems I wasn't really clear about what I meant or worded it in a wrong way - Of course your character can buy a new ship from a dealer and keep the same name and reputation. What I meant to say is that in all the buying/selling ship deals between accounts, it's not the ship itself that's transferred, but the whole character including name and reputation. You cannot move a ship without keeping the reputation too. The best thing you can do is buying your new character the same ship and selling the old one to get some money back, as Ursus said.
