I have a requirement like below,

Sorry if it looks silly

Why do you think this?

The mv command should be fairly agnostic to the sizes of the files. If you are moving from one file system (mount point) to another and the destination has issues with large files, you might get weird error messages, but that would be like when you are talking gigabytes.

are those files in the same filesystem ? across NFS ?

did you consider using " mv " instead of copying and deleting ?

yes. they are in same file system..
please let me know how can i use mv command so that all files with > 5Mb size automatically to new directory.
also there are lot many files

There are various variants of the find command, but see if the following finds the files you want for a start.

These forums are full of examples of how to use find; search for find mv for some good examples.

Hi,


If the files in the same directory you can use one of these comands:


go to the path where is the file is located by cd comand


then do
cp [the path] [the file name [the pathe where you want to keep][the file name]
you can also use mv in the same way
If the files are in different filesystems you have to use:
FTP comand

good luck
