00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:08,849
In this video we'll
talk about moving files.

2
00:00:10,009 --> 00:00:11,750
That's with
the MV utility.

3
00:00:12,369 --> 00:00:18,460
So the MV command will move a file
and it also is used to rename a file.

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,804
That is because renaming a file is really no
different from moving a file. Because when you rename

5
00:00:23,804 --> 00:00:28,530
it, you move it from the old name
to the new name. And that's how it works.

6
00:00:29,149 --> 00:00:29,969
Let
me demonstrate.

7
00:00:32,469 --> 00:00:36,469
Let me start by
using Touch TMP test file.

8
00:00:37,549 --> 00:00:39,840
You remember Touch it
creates an empty file.

9
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:45,250
LS l always a good idea if you
want to verify that it works? Yay, it works.

10
00:00:46,329 --> 00:00:51,090
Now I'm using MV of
TMP test file to Tilde.

11
00:00:52,049 --> 00:00:58,969
Tilde is your home directory and that works. And we should
see that I now have test file in my home directory.

12
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:04,435
And in case you are wondering, could I have
done that tilde in a different way? Yeah, as

13
00:01:04,435 --> 00:01:09,060
I was in my home directory, I could have
used dot as well. That would also have worked.

14
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:13,750
Before moving on, let's also
verify the TMP test file.

15
00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:16,909
And the TMP test
file doesn't exist anymore.

16
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:20,920
And that is because I just
moved it to my home directory.

17
00:01:21,609 --> 00:01:27,724
Now if I use MVTestVal to a
FAL, LS is showing that test VAL

18
00:01:27,724 --> 00:01:33,840
no longer exists. A VAL exists and
that's what's happening when you move it.

19
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:38,685
When you move it, you just
replace it or rename it. The interesting

20
00:01:38,685 --> 00:01:42,829
thing is that you take all
the properties of the file with it.

21
00:01:43,549 --> 00:01:49,974
So permission wise, when you move a file, nothing
changes in the permission where you copy a file,

22
00:01:49,974 --> 00:01:56,400
you copy a file to the new destination and
it gets the permissions according to the new destination.

23
00:01:57,379 --> 00:02:02,230
That will probably make more sense when later
we have also explored permissions and how they work.
