jreed2132 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 What command or script do you use to move files from one directory to another? I've found commands for making directories, renaming files, or deleting files, but what is used to move a file?

PHP has a function shell_exec that allows you to, well, execute shell commands.

corbin Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 By the way, renaming a file is essentially the same as moving it. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177544-moving-files-to-new-directory-in-linux/#findComment-936352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
