I apologize. I assumed that you had read through the thread that you copied my code from:
Moving files from parent path to multiple child path using bash in efficient way and that you were trying to do something similar, but copying CSV files instead of TXT files. What that thread was doing was to move files from one place in a file hierarchy up one level (removing one intermediate directory in the source path) to another set of pre-existing directories in that same source file hierarchy.
With your latest set of changes to my script, you are apparently trying to move files from
/home/user/pumela to
/home/user/pumela/home/user/pumela and, since
/home/user/pumela/home/user/pumela is not an existing directory, the script exits because there is nothing to do. And, whereas in post #1 in this thread
/home/user/pumela/archive was a target directory; in this latest set of changes to the script, it is some kind of regular file that stores the output produced by the most recently run
cd command???
So, let's go back to step 1! Please forget about the script that you copied and tell us exactly what you are trying to do:
- What directory or directories contain files that you want to move?
- To what directory or directories do you want to move those files?
- Are the files you want to move on the same system as the directory or directories to which you want to move them?
- Is or are the target directory or directories on the same filesystem as the directory or directories that contain the files your want to move?
- Is cygwin (running under some version of Windows) the only system on which you want to run this script? If not, what other systems will you be using to run this script?
PS The title of this thread is "
Issues in Csv file transfer copy from one dir to another". "Move" and "transfer copy" are two different things. Do you want to
move files or do you want to
copy files?

check-permissions
check-permissions(1M) System Administration Commands check-permissions(1M)
NAME
check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-permissions [login]
DESCRIPTION
The check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for sendmail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for all configured
alias files, and checks the alias files for :include: files. It also checks for certain .forward files. For each file that check-permis-
sions checks, it verifies that none of the parent directories are group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive, it is
reported. Otherwise it reports that no unsafe directories were found.
As to which .forward files are checked, it depends on the arguments included on the command line. If no argument is given, the current
user's home directory is checked for the presence of a .forward file. If any arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and
the home directory of each one is checked.
If the special argument ALL is given, the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is checked, and all password entries that can be
obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this can be time-consuming.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
login Where login is a valid user name, checks the home directory for login.
ALL Checks the home directory of all users.
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf Defines enviornment for sendmail
/etc/mail/aliases Ascii mail aliases file
