Hi Stephen,
Use either the mv [move] command or cp [copy] command.
Example
Assume the following, you have a directory called docs and it is in the
following location
/home/liu/docs
You want to move this directory to the following location
/home/smith/docs
>From the directory /home/liu use the mv command as follows
mv docs /home/smith/docs
But be aware that you must have the correct permissions to write to the
/home/smith directory.
Using cp, assuming the same scenario but this time you wish to copy rather
than move directories. Use
cp -R docs /home/smith
This command copies the docs directory to /home/smith/docs
Again make sure you have the correct permissions to do this.
