how to mass move files?

nicksonrulez · 08-20-2011, 07:40 AM

I downloaded wordpress from wordpress.org. Unzipped it in /var/www using "unzip wordpress.org".

Now, the problem is, every file is under /wordpress directory. So structure look like:

/var/www/wordpress

I want every file under /wordpress to be moved to /www. How can i do that?

its a CENTOS server.

Code:

shopt -s dotglob
cd /var/www/wordpress
mv * ../
shopt -u dotglob

.. sorry, got a bit trigger-happy, borrowed 'dotglob' from colucix: see here
