Hi,

I made a terrible mistake while move sites of one server to another. We created virtualhosts in the new server using virtualmin. But while restoring files from old server to new server, I mistakenly copied all files in "/home/VIRTUALHOSTS-NAME/" instead of "/home/VIRTUALHOSTS-NAME/public_html". Now I had to move all files from the home directory of the virtualhosts to the public_html directory except few default folders like: fcgi-bin, public_html, awstats,cgi-bin etc. Can this be automated with a shell script or any command with pipe?

Thanks for your help in advance.

rsync should do what you need. Read up on to understand the syntax you will need.

That resolves it. Can't use rsync because the folder structure in source machine is different.
