mv - Moved a file to another directory in Unix. File is no longer in the original directory, but never showed up in the destination directory. Why? -
i having problem seemingly simple in unix. used following code move file directory:
mv genes.gtf ./ ../..
the file no longer in original directory, has not shown in destination directory either! has experienced similar thing before? causing problem? possible take while file moved, shows in destination directory big delay?
when 3 arguments passed mv
, first 2 considered sources, , last 1 considered destination. seems moved both genes.gtf
, current directory (./
) ../..
i think meant write mv genes.gtf ../..
as far happened file, have no idea; i've never attempted move ./
anywhere in unix/linux before.
