Hello,

I'm fairly new to Linux. Could someone expound on this?  Coincidentally, I
was just looking at the Man page for mv earlier today.  Are you trying to
move a directory?  I'm not sure what your intention was with the command
"mv foo ..".  Just looking for a better understanding of Linux.

thanks,

Russ
