Hi all,
Now that I am starting to get more comfortable with Opensuse, I am starting to open the Konsole more and reading how to install applications.
Now, I would like to start to learn how to copy/move files and folders through command line.
What are some of the commands to copy/move files and folders?
Thanks,
Heeter
man cp & man mv are very interesting reads 
Andy
Wow,
Right on,
Thanks deltaflyer, didn’t know about man.
Can I mv folders as well as files with same command? It just says files in man.
Thanks again,
Heeter

Try mc. 
When you move a folder, you have to use -r (recursive) otherwise SuSe won’t know if it’s supposed to move everything within the folder.
Like this:
mv -r test /somewhere/here
or
cp -r test /somewhere/here
Actually, ‘mv’ doesn’t have a ‘-r’ flag. only ‘cp’. It is required with ‘cp’ when you want to copy directories.

No, that is completely untrue.
Good luck.

I had no idea mv didn’t have an -r flag.
Thanks for that.
