Open both windows.. the empty folder you want the images to be in and the folder the images are in.

Use your mouse and highlight all the images.. then drag and drop into the other folder

each dir with a model name 500 of them has anywhere for 20-200 images I need to move all those images up 1 level in the tree but keep the 500 dirs so I want to get rid of the images directory in all 500 folders

Does

filename.jpd

all have the same name? for example

/dir1/galleryfile.psd /dir2/galleryfile.psd?

If that;s the case, just use windows SEARCH and search for filename galleryfile.psd

All files will apear, crtl A crtl C and then paste them in a new directory.

Andre

Questions?

I wonder if this would work

Type the line below in your shell / SSH screen
(when you're in the right system path)

mv /*/images/*.jpg /*/*.jpg
