Moving Files via SSH

So I have a bunch of files under one username in cpanel/whm. I am trying to move all the files to another username on the same server. Anyone know of an SSH command or easy way this can be done?

 

cp -rf /_directory_name_ /_path_of_another_username/

 

Doesn't the cp command just copy the files rather then moving them?

 

mv /path/to/original/folder /path/to/new/folder

the mv (move) command can do what you want

 

You have to verify if the files at the new location has the required user permissions.
Most probably it will be under the ownership of root.
You need to explicitly change that using the chown command

 

in whm there is a option to change user account name.
thn u can move your files anywhere in your server

 

Well since you are on the same server you dont need ssh.

If you were sending to different servers the command to use is scp, which is part of the ssh package.

scp /from/file/list tohostname:/to/directory/name/.

if you are really newbie and dont know anything then use
sftpdrive.exe it will work just like you are using windows,

http://www.expandrive.com/sftpdrive

else if u want to do with ssh then

use coomand

locate (username of that site ) suppose endless is username
locate endless

chk the path
it might be something like this

/home/endless/
then use command to copy

cp /home/endless/ /address of new location./ / /

hope you understand

if u have any problem contact me

 

How would I move not only the files in the directory, but all the sub-directories as well? I used the mv command and it moved the files only, but not the sub-directories.

 

The mv command is not recursive. The cp command and the rm is so:
cp -r /from /to
rm -r /from

Should take care of it
