Moving a file on Linux
To move a file to another location we use the same method as renaming a file, except the file path should be different:
mv source-file /new/path
For example, to move a file from /home/test/testingfile to /var/test2/example/testingfile , you would run the following command:
mv /home/test/testingfile /var/test2/example/testingfile
Moving and Renaming files on Linux
A file can be renamed during a move process using the mv command. You simply give the target path a different name. When mv moves the file, it will be given a new name:
mv old-filename /new/path/new-filename
For example, to move a file named file10.txt to /var/filetest and rename it to file50.txt , you would run the following command:
mv file10.txt /var/filetest/file50.txt
