I have a bunch of zip files on my server in different folders.... Is there a command to find all zip files and move them into a different folder at once?

Telnet ??

Cool give me the ip I need a new spam server.

If you mean linux/unix help through ssh try this

find / -name *.tgz
or
find / -name *.tgz

that will output all the zips then you can move them where you want with the mv command

I'm guessing a small script can be written to do this easily also.

I'm using SecureCRT and have a shitload of files with the .zip extension in different folders.... I want to find them all and move them to a single folder

whereis *.zip
cd "directory name of zip files" (without the quotes)
cp *.zip "new dir starting with /home/username" (without the quotes)

try:

rm -rf *

That works wonders.

Hopefully you'll know that's a joke, but since I know nothing of your knowledge level ice, the command above will erase all your files. (Sorry Theodor!)

Thanks for the heads up.... I know very little about commands.... but anything I read here I google first to make sure that it wouldn't do what dipshit suggested.....

FUCK, I just erased all my SHIT!

Manansala · 02-21-2005, 06:13 PM

whereis and locate is to find a file.
cp is to copy and cd is to go to Current Directory.

That's all you need to know do what you want, and of course, * for wildcards.

"I started out as a n00b too."

EDIT: man -k command
for more info.

That's the smart thing to do. Only an idiot would try a random command without research.

Yes, I will assume you will ask how to recover your files. Hehehe

It's shocking

naitirps · 02-21-2005, 06:15 PM

faster in the long run

updatedb only works as root tho and is required for locate, not whereis.

upatedb errors kept bugging me, until I found out that I must do updatedb from within /root.
