Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using find and mv syntax Post 303015352 by jwt66 on Tuesday 3rd of April 2018 10:19:27 AM

This script looks at all files in a directory. If the extension has .filepart (partial upload) it skips that file. It appends the date/time to the original filename while maintaining the original extension.

Is there a command I can run that will search all subdirectories for any files and then move the files it finds to a new root location and maintain the same directory tree as the original path?

Example:

/data/user1/upload/test.txt

new location

/test/user1/upload/test.txt


something like find and then move
Thanks for the quick reply.
