I use
tar cvf //.tar 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
cd
tar xvf //.tar
I usually do
cd
find . ! -type d -print > files.txt
vi files.txt - edit out files I don't want
tar cvfT //.tar files.txt
cd
tar xvf //.tar
which lets me copy files beginning with "." in the root of the directory
(tar will skip these

I'm not sure how to use the mv command to do this in 1 comand.
