Problem :
I have a directory with text files in /user/data/tutorial/texts/
and I’d like to move the (sub)directory Folder2/
with all of its contents to /user/
.
How should I go about this using unix commands?
Solution :
The mv
command moves files and directories between directories.
Assuming that you have write access to both /user
(for creating new files and directories therein) and /user/data/tutorial/texts
(for deleting the directory Folder2
), then the following command will do what you ask for:
mv /user/data/tutorial/texts/Folder2 /user
