moving files using the CLI

I want to move all the files from my USB-drive to my hard drive. The subdirectories should be copied also containing all the data

I tried:
mv /mnt/usb/data/guido/* -T -v /mnt/guido

What is going wrong?

Check the man pages for mv command, you can figure this out, you're almost there.

Code:

---

man mv

---

Pay special attention to the -r option.

Quote:

---

mv mv /mnt/usb/data/guido/* -T -v /mnt/guido -T -v /mnt/guido

Are you trying to move your files to another mounted drive? Or are you wanting to move them to your home directory?

If the latter, you should try

Code:

---

mv /mnt/usb/data/guido/* /your/target/directory

---

Of course replacing /your/target/directory with the actual name.
