I'm wondering what the best way to move alot of files in a directory to the other without using mv one file at a time is.... For example I was trying to move 20+ files in one directory to the other. I didn't want to move the directory itself for that directory is used in some program as storage destination set by root, so I had to mv one by one. It was done but was kind of annoying. Is there any way to move all files in a directory to the other in one command like or two?? heh sorry if I'm asking impossible demand..

Thanks

Sure:
mv /path/to/files/* /path/to/the/place/to/put/them/

The * is the catch all.

Cool
