im kinda new to unix i just installed fedora on one of my computer and i forgot to install the gui, so now i only have command
can you help me in telling what is the command i need to use in the linuxs shell to start moving folders
mv Command
oh yeah, its easy. if you want to move directories in linux use this command:for example, i have to move a directory called wallpaperama/ from my /home/wally/wallpaperama to /var/wwww/ directory, i would just send the command on the shell
so basically, the command format is:
mv original_directory new_directory
NOTE: in linux, we call folder, directories. only windows calls them folders
