Move a file

[runa12345]

Hi all,


I used an unix command to move data. In process forgot to type target file name.

Lets say I had PathA/fileA and had to move to PathB/fileB. I forgot to specify FileB and typed the command (from PathA) as

mv ./fileA PathB

Now I cant find the fileA anywhere. Has anyone got any idea where it could be??

Thanks

in the PathB? but PathB as a filename, not folder...

mv ./fileA /path/to/folderB

so the file is called "folderB" now in "/path/to/"

my guess...

Perhaps PathB/fileA ?

A good command to know:
man mv

Hope This Helps, PH.
