Help moving multiple folders to a new location
 

i have in a specific location a lot of folders with the prefix folder_2017xxxxxx. I want to move the folders with the prefix folder_201708xx only to a new location with one command.

i tried
mv "folder_201708*" /newlocation/
and it returns
mv: cannot stat `folder_201709*': No such file or directory

any idea?

try without "

Thanks pan for the reply,

i tried the command without the quotes and the output was

mv: cannot overwrite directory /newlocation/folder_201708xxxx
