How to move multiple files between folders in terminal?


How I can select all files in a directory and move them to another folder?

i have such directory: folder1/folder2/ [many different files here]

mv folder1 file3 - in this case only one file3 is moving in folder1

But i want to select all files in folder 2.

I try to print:


Solution

  • The 'mv' command to move files does support wildcard characters. Simply use mv folder1/folder2/* <destination>.

    This command will move all files in folder1/folder2 to your specified destination.
