Hi,
Im trying to do move a file like this as mart of my script on Solaris
mv /path/to/file/file.txt ..
mv: cannot rename /path/to/file/file.txt to ../file.txt: Permission denied.
Im just trying to move it up one level using the following command on a bunch of directories:
find /path/to/file/ -type f -exec echo mv {} .. \;
Could someone answer this question, I have a very distinct feeling its very easy question, im just a bit on the dumb side sometimes
