Simple console question. Moving files.

The_Messiah · 08-17-2005, 08:51 PM

Hey guys, long time since I've been playing with my linux long enough to come up with a question, but anyway...

What is the command to move files to a different dir?

Simple question that has slipped my mind since I havn't been spending much time on here.

Thanks in advance.

P.s. Sorry for posting this in the wrong forum (General)

mv /<old location>/<file name> /<new location>/<filename> keep an eye on permissions though

command "mv" i guess its short for move..
Example:

Code:

mv test  /home/

moves file "test" to /home

oh bosewicht was first
