HOWTO: move a file
example, I want to move a file from the desktop to a folder in the Filesystem.
In the Terminal I type:
mv
A white space then the full path to my file that in this example it named ‘Aquaish’:
/home/lola/Desktop/Aquaish
A white space followed by the path to the folder I want to move the file to which in this example is ’skins’:
/usr/share/amsn/skins
Which all together then become:
mv
/home/lola/Desktop/Aquaish
/usr/share/amsn/skins
So, mv – path to file I want to move – the path where I want to move the file

..and most likely your shell will support auto-complete if you press TAB.
You can also use mv to rename files like mv filename1 filename2.
