This is a "noobie" linux question. I cannot seem to find a simple linux command to do the following:
mv /one/long/path/on/a/partition/file /another/path/on/another/partition/file i.e. simply move a file around across directories and partitions. The names and paths are not necessarily the same. I have been reading the internet and read scores of comments like "use rsync" (nope, not preserving paths) "use cp -R/r" (nope, not copying recursively, just one file). Both mv and cp refuse to create new directories or directory paths (unless recursive and we're not doing a recursive copy) So far all that I have been able to do is mkdir /another cd another mkdir path cd path mkdir on cd on mkdir another cd another mkdir partition cd partition cp /one/long/path/on/a/partition/file . I think you get the idea. Isn't there an easy way to do this? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
